Feb. 20&21
This week was pretty similar to my first week, so it's nice that I won't be doing anything too different from week to week. Monday I got to sit through a couple hours of meetings and see what's going on in the business pretty much, where they talked about the major things going on within the company. I also learned that I will be doing the post for the company, which consists of opening the mail and checking what it is and dispersing it to the people within the company. Then in the afternoon, I made another spreadsheet on excel. I enjoy creating excel worksheets and seeing them work out the way they are supposed to, so that's fun.
Tuesday when I got in I went over the spreadsheet that I had created the day before with Doug, and he had me change a few things and then also make different graphs. The spreadsheets aren't anything that has to be done, but it's something he likes to look at and see how the company is doing in certain areas that he has me work on. He would say things like "That's interesting," while he was looking at the work I had done.
This week, even more than last week, I realized how laid back the environment is in the office. People will just randomly stop working for a while and talk to each other for a few minutes and go back to work. I was also told that I need to learn a valuable work lesson, which is to work slower. Which I found interesting. I like to get my assignment or project and start working on it and get it done correctly and efficiently, but I guess I'm supposed to slow down and take breaks while I'm working. So on Tuesday I would tell myself to slow down, but the only way I know how to slow down when I'm working is to stop, so every once in a while I would just stop working and observe the office.
