Internship Journal- Week 4 July 9-13 Name Worker
Bee School East Forsyth High School Company
Dream Job Insurance Agency July 9- Day 15 This
week on the job was pretty boring, considering I
worked on the same project everyday. At least on
Monday there was a celebration for all of the
July Birthdays, and since mine is on the twelfth
everyone sang happy birthday to me. Today I also
was ask by my boss Anna, what my work schedule
would be like for the rest of the summer, after I
responded to her e-mail she asked it I would be
interested in working some during the school
year. This made me feel like I was doing a good
job and that she had confidence in my abilities,
even though I had to tell her no due to my
extracurricular activities. As for work I
continues on the January Cash clearing
spreadsheets. July 10- Day 16 Today I was
elated to have finished Januarys cash clearing
only to find out that I had to start on December
2006. This made me wonder if the cash clearing
spreads had ever been completed and how far I
would have to go back. I was happy to find out
that Transource didnt acquire their Fayetteville
location until 2007 so from now on I would only
have to do the spreads for five locations. To
take a break I helped Margie file some of the
invoices she had just cut checks for, luckily
they were in alphabetical order so it made it a
lot easier. By the end of the day I had finished
the December 2006 Cash clearing. This month was
easier because Scott sent me the spreadsheet as
an Excel document so I could find the amounts
faster using control F. July 11- Day 17 Today I
continued with the Cash Clearing spreads, but for
November I had to print them out because Kathy
was busy with her own project. I wasnt hard I
just had to copy and paste them from the AS400 to
and Excel spread. This time I also decided to
turn the entries red n the screen rather that to
print them out and highlight. I thought it might
save some time in the long run. This time I also
decided to go though the CRVs by date instead of
location. On the pervious months I felt I was
wasting time by going though the months CRVs
six times when I could cut it down to one.
