The week of Monday July 22 to Friday, July 26 2019.
Its about mid summer and I have spent my summer working full time. I have had this job since my Junior year of College when I had applied for an internship through my professor. I guess I got such a great recommendation that my boss Joe, was going to hire me regardless. He claimed it wasn’t an interview and that he just wanted to meet me. But in those situations you have to still act like it is an interview and go all out, be prepared.
I have a lot of duties here so I won’t list them out. But this week wasn’t too slow or too busy. I went in and went about my every day activites. I finished a report on Tuesday and then went on to the next one. My reports I do are in the interest of Environmental Due Diligence for commercial and industrial, real estate properties.
I didn’t get out of the office much, just for coffees and a possible lunch, otherwise i would stare at a computer screen from 9-5 in an a/c’ed office. Three years of sitting in front of a screen with a small possibility of going out into the field once a month.
Today, Friday July 26, 2019 I should be finishing another report, I will just have to really put all my attention to completing it. But it is hard. We have an intern and I feel like I have to watch her every second to make sure she doesn’t slack off like I do. Its ok if I do cause I know what needs to be done. I know thats a bad way of teaching someone, but she is here and a Finance major. Joe is barely around and she is there to learn Finance not environmental. It is good she will have a toe in the company but the point of an internship is to get job experience in the field you are going to school for. That way when it comes time to find a job, you know how to do the things you are being hired for. Anyways this will probably come back and bite her in the ass later. I can’t do anything about that, just do my best show her the office life.
Normally if there is no intern, it would most likely be myself in the office with Joe coming and going making business deals. I actually like having the office to myself, its peaceful and I can get work done plus write when I run out of things to do.
I want to leave though, I am not doing what I went to school for and I find I have a knack for business, or at least enjoy it.
