Welp, first week at work is history! And can I say it was just phenom?! Training, learning names and responsibilities, trying to get to work on time and not end up somewhere in Tampa... This has all been very overwhelming! But only the best kind. And from learning about the amazing things I will get to do and the people I get to hang with, I am certainly never going to be underwhelmed in my time here. I am, however, looking forward to when I can get in the swing of things and have gym nights, not be heading to Target at 11pm (this
Anywhooo, as I said, the first work week was great! Day 1, I was greeted on my floor with this adorable sign:
A close-up of mine!
As any of y'all may know, I LUHHH me some Muppets, most especially Kermie (love you Daddy ;)) and Miss Piggy! I may have squealed when I saw this.
After the initial meet and greets, I went into some training for the first day and got to meet a bunch of other interns in my department. It was so helpful to see everyone at once so I would have some pals in the cube 'hood. That afternoon, we went to our departments for the first time and jumped right in! First things first, I got to go to a local restaurant, Tiujana Flats, home of the most delicious Mexican I've had in some time! Defff check it out if you are ever in Florida (and you will be!)
The rest of the week was spent getting acclimated, trained and used to the great big 9-5 day. One of the coolest aspects of the week was getting presentations from every leader in our department and figuring out who we would interact with, what their title and responsibilities were, and the cool things that they have their hands in that we see every single day in the real world.
I've learned that this organization is SO super friendly and welcoming and everyone always has their doors open for questions, chats and advice. They are a culture of "meet-and-greets" and shadowing, where you can spend time with someone else and see up close and personal what exactly a day looks like for them and if it would be a good fit for you. They also highly accept and widely use acronyms, which I love considering half my vocab is abbrevs.
I am so excited to learn the ins and outs of our department and my position and soak everything up while I have this awesome opportunity! Stay tuned for some more deets as next week gets cookin' and of course for a 4th of July recap!
