Today I am more inspired to write then I have been in a while. Some funny things about today. It's Tuesday. I worked 6-3pm. Man it feels great to be off at 3 and still have the whole day to do whatever AND I'm off tomorrow! I'm more tired then I have been in a long time. Well the last time I was this tired it was the Sunday after finals week. That day I was exhausted from the realization of the semester finally coming to an end. Going out tonight is a negative, especially if I plan to work out. So today was the first day I got paid at my new internship and payroll definitely didn't pay us enough. It's a sad day that my first check is messed up! BUT MONEY IS GOOD! Today I got my schedule for the rest of the month. I enjoy that I only close once a week. One of the perks of being an intern. But today was kinda sucky too. At the store I am at, there is also another intern. And she's awesome and a blast to hang around. But here's the thing. I'm getting screwed. I'm getting screwed because I don't really have a manager to work with so I'm always with them. My manager is not showing signs of understanding of his intern responsibilities. So basically I am floundering to make my mark. I want my internship to be an experience that makes me stand out. The other intern and the manager we are with, they carpool and spend every waking moment of the day by each other's side. I mean don't get me wrong I'm at their sides a good deal of the time but yeah. Needless to say they are developing a close relationship and I am missing out. I'm missing out on the experience I signed up for, the experience I'm being paid for and the experience I expect. I worked with another manager for like a split second today. He told me that he wishes he could work with us more. I said well come get me and I asked him what his schedule was like the rest of the week. He's going on vacation. Which bums me out cause I know I could learn sooo much from him. Sad sad day.
Another thing has been on my mind. I got some advice from my brother regarding my doubts. Doing nothing in a situation that's so pressing is the hardest ting in the world! I mean you have an issue going on but the only thing to improve it is to do nothing. Not necessarily forget, but do nothing. Remain still if you will.
Oh yeah... SIDE NOTE: I'm sad that I got no comment on my article I found. Except from Amanda, which I was next to her when that was posted. I believe that article was very impacting to me. I mean if it meant nothing to you, tell me... And tell me why. Feedback is necessary cause I know there was a select few that read!!
Any ways. It's about to start storming here in Fort Collins. I should head out of the library back to my Internetless apartment. I know... I'm hoping soon that will change. Welp, hopes for a better tomorrow...
