So, I'm on week 4 now. Week 2 was boring as hell in the media division. Week 3 was really busy; I had to put on 2 presentations. One was so good, those who attended sent positive to the boss, who was on vacation and couldn't attend, himself. The downside is that I had to work w/ the Ditzy Twins. I was nervous as hell before the presentation. Despite going through and editing the original powerpoint they made, I knew the presentation was too wordy. Also, they never bothered to do a dry run w/ me; half of the Twins despises me. I feel like I'm the only guy who gets things done, though. If there's a problem w/ the printer or we need to set up the projector, I have no problem contacting the office go-to guy. I pitch in and do what I can, but I am not afraid of seeking help, especially if I know it will move a project along quicker.
Cindy came to visit me this past weekend. I wish she could've stayed for the duration.
Did I mention I'm working w/ the boss this week? Really boring stuff. I'm so sick of talking about CVBs (Convention & Visitor Bureaus) at this point!
I'm going home for 4th of July weekend. Let's hope I don't get stuck in major traffic or get into an accident b/c everyone is driving like an idiot. Speaking of driving, I still haven't taken care of my traffic ticket yet. I tried to last week, but when I called in, they still hadn't put my ticket into their system. The cop told me I should go to court so I don't get points on my license, but it makes me nervous to sit on this ticket for so long. I don't want to get fined double for not paying on time, y'know? Plus, I don't even know where the courthouse is or how to get to it.
I really hate this city. I hate how it rains every day. I hate my roommate, DAN, who doesn't believe in using the air conditioner and actually got mad at me for turning it on. If I turn up missing/dead, you will know who did it.
I want to quit early, but Cindy says I can tough it out. *sighs* I'm not convinced this will improve my future. The boss has already said he won't give out letters of recommendation, so don't even ask. Most days I wonder, what am I doing here?
At least I think I have been somewhat impressive. Still, that doesn't get me very far when I don't have any real material to add to my resume (other than a one-liner, "I did this internship"), and I know I don't want to end up working here.
