Week II

Yet again, this week went by extraordinarily fast. I felt alot more comfortable about the tasks set forth for me to complete. I found as the days flew by that when a task needs to be accomplished, my co-workers will place the paperwork on my chair. I think this is a good task completion system, and a nifty idea, because I have to physically pick up the pile of things to do off of my chair before I can sit down. By using this system, I see every morning what items need attended to and be concluded by end of day (which can be very hard to do).

Throughout the week I learned more about the internal environment and had the ability to give myself tasks to complete. I took it upon myself to organize a certain client workbook, which houses information that is used on a daily basis. Halfway through that process I realized that all this information needed updated, and should be housed in a database for better record keeping. I brought up this statement to my boss, and now I am in the process of searching for a database that we can purchase, and therefore create a smoother running business.

So by the end of the week, I was not following Michelle around like a little lost puppy dog anymore, but instead spreading my wings to make this business better. I felt more confident in myself about working at Impressions.

Week I

The first week went by really fast. I felt like I was in the middle of a whirlwind. So much was going on around me, and I didn't know what to do. I was basically following my boss (Michelle) around like a little lost puppy dog saying only a few words when asked a question. On the first day I was immediately exposed to talking with suppliers, clients, and co-workers. I felt overwhelmed by all the information flowing through the office. I even thought, "What have I gotten myslef into?" But I knew I had to stick with it, since I barely even gave the job a chance to sink in yet. By friday, I was feeling better about my position at Impressions, and was looking forward to coming back the following week.
