This week was the same as any other week. I am getting better at what I am doing because this job is very continuous. Which is bitter sweet because I don't like change, but doing the same thing over and over sometimes is getting a little boring. But I don't mind it because I go there, know what I'm supposed to do, and get it done as efficiently as I can. Also if I do need to learn something new, they can show me once or twice and thats all I need to continue working on it. I don't need extensive hand holding of shown something new. So thats why I relate to the autonomous trait the most. Once I am shown a task, I will get it. I might be a little slow at first, but you know practice makes perfect.
This week was a slow, but an exciting week. I took off Thursday and worked Friday instead because I had to watch my sister. It was a great, energetic week for me I felt. My sleep was great and I was in a good mood all around. I put good work into my projects and tried not to procrastinate as much. My schedule is great but sometimes traffic can catch you and make you 5 minutes late sometimes but what can you do. They understand, they are pretty leniant with that stuff and I love it.
A task that I have really bad habit controlling is my procrastinating and wasting time. It is hard not to but I do my best. One way I try to control that is to chew gum so I am doing something that isn't that time wasting. Or just do anything that won't affect my work ethic. One second Ill be typing an article on here then the next I will be looking up kittens falling out of a chair. It confuses me how easily I do that frequently. This week was a good work week. I was energized every day and adapting to the schedule of work. I learned how to work the phones and answer calls. I am getting more comfortable with all of the people and finally learning everyones name there. They are getting more comfortable around me. Going from working at a cemetery then working at desk, It is a change that is weird do adapt to. But I'm getting there. The cemetery you are moving and doing manual labor, this is different. I sit at a desk and go around once in a while. But if I were to change anything about my new environment, is the fact that I barely move and I end up getting tired. It needs to be more up beat with music. But I do like it a lot and the people are great, if that weren't the case, I would despised going there.
This week was an exciting week as well. I get there, they give me a task or a project to complete for them, and I do it as well as I can. Me asking for help is getting less and less as I learn how to do the task and use the web tools I am given. I am talking to my co workers a lot more and bonding over things like hockey and stuff in the real world. I am liking my job as a Co-op more and more every week.
In a day that I won the powerball, I would do as much as a can to make sure that last my family from generations and generations to come, I would donate 5-10 million to a good cause and with the rest, I have things planned. I wouldn't buy a mansion, I would live a casual life style and buy a nice sized house. But, I would continue to work by opening my own restaurant chain and make money off those and work there for life. That would cover a lot and the money will be there for my family when they need it. But in this point in time, I would buy a used chevy cruze. they are great cars and aren't too expansive. I never won the lottery but if I ever did, I would try to do that. My experience this week was a lot better than the last week in my opinion. I didn't have to read a manual that was very very boring. I got to do projects that I actually liked doing. It is a very positive environment to be in, everyone is always nice and nice to talk to. The only negative is rushing home after fourth hour, getting dressed, and being there by 2:15. But, it is very much so worth it. This whole year will be great because I learned a lot that will help me out during the year. I go there and do projects for the employees in personal property. This week was great and hopefully next week is the same thing!
Here is a list of eight things that make me happy. A lot of things makes me happy so here are just eight of them :) 1. family over everything. 2.Hockey 3.Friends 4. Lakeshore 5.My jobs 6.My dog 7.Teachers like you 8.God Family is the easily the most important thing out of anything in the world so here is a picture of my family minus my dad because he took the picture. On Tuesday afternoon, I started my Co-op position at the macomb county treasurers office. When I walked into that door in the big building I had no idea what to expect, or had no clue what I was going to be doing. I was created very kindly by a nice women, she showed me around on a tour and took me where I was going to be working. She let me go into Property Tax area, then I met this kind women named Nancy. She showed me to my desk and told me what I was going to be doing for the rest of the first day. Which was to read a Co-op handbook. (It was really boring) but I read the thing. I got the gist of of it. The rest of the work week I did paperwork for the people in my department and felt like it helped them out a ton. I LOVED this job the first week and am so glad I have it the rest of the year.
I completely agree with James on him taking away his kids participation trophies. Those things should not a thing I will explain why. The participation "trophies" are a weapon to the mentality of the human brain. People will start to think "why would I have to work hard when I get rewarded anyway?" When you strive to achieve something and accomplish anything you are doing, it is way more rewarding when you receive the medal or trophy. My biggest accomplishment and reward was winning states on my hockey team (jk it was getting the bathroom key;). We set a goal in the beginning of the year and we worked hard all year to achieve it. Trust me, it was way better than not trying at all at getting medal that don't mean anything. Working hard all year and having our ups and downs but we got through it by teamwork. that was the happiest most rewarding feeling I have ever had and will never forget it. A team is not just a team, it is a brotherhood.
