Week 8:
Wondrous Adventure
July 29, 2022 | Yes, indeed, I would categorize my time in Chicago as an adventure. I learned and experienced a lot during these eight weeks, enjoying myself while I was at it. Getting to work at Amazing Edibles was a treat partially because it was my first work experience. I know I have gained an edge over those […]
Week 7:
Resistance Is Greatest Just Before the Finish Line
July 16, 2022 | Things are going well, especially with the new co-worker that arrived last week. We have continued to find common ground over little things such as TV series and sports. She has partly taken over my job of analyzing surveys, which, under normal circumstances, I would have liked, but not this time because even though July […]
Week 6:
Newbie
July 9, 2022 | The title vaguely suggests that a new full-time employee arrived at Amazing Edibles this week. My new co-worker is friendly and easy to work with; on top of all that, she learns fairly quicker than others. I say this due to my observation that she actually enjoys being at work here, and catering is also […]
Week 5:
It’s a Cruel Summer
July 2, 2022 | This was one hell of a week. The unfortunate circumstance we employees at the company faced was that Andrea (the chief executive) caught COVID. Monday was a regular day like any other, but I still felt she was a bit weary. Then on Tuesday morning, I read an email from her that she has fallen […]
Week 4:
UCA
June 25, 2022 | Week 4 was not as eventful as the previous week exactly as I predicted but in all fairness, week 3 set the bar too high that I am sure the following month will not reach and there are many reasons for that. Although, this week was unique in its own right as I gained new […]
Week 3:
Step Up or Step Aside
June 19, 2022 | This week was one of a kind. As you see in the image above, I officially became the temporary event specialist. I was given the news on Monday and, therefore, it was a pleasant start to the week. This meant that my hard work was paying off and my boss could see that I am […]
Week 2:
Just Keep Swimming
June 11, 2022 | This week presented some great learning opportunities, and I am thankful to the senior employees who have made a conscious effort to teach me new skills so when they delegate tasks, I would complete them with more efficiency. I start an average workday going through emails and replying to clients. Those emails mostly consist of […]
Week 1:
Hit the Ground Running
June 4, 2022 | On a sunny Wednesday morning, I arrived at work with a stereotypical approach that I would have to sit at a desk for the entirety of the day. Thankfully, that misunderstanding was corrected as soon as the Chief Executive Officer at Amazing Edibles greeted me and took about 45 minutes out of her time to […]
