Yes that is right folks, Winter Break has offically began. Finals went alright other than the all nighter that I had to pull for my Advanced Scripting final, which I think turned out pretty bad ass. The functionality of the site could still use some work but the design I think was the strongest of the class, I will probably use it as a project to work on to keep my mind from wandering too far from the knowledge tree as I progress through these next 3 weeks. You can check out the site here.
So I am currently writing this at the Timberwolves management office because the work that I was assigned is now finished and my boss is in a meeting so I can’t go and ask him what else he wants me to do. I have to say, the enviornment here is cool, but at the same time I feel somewhat of an outcast simply because the people I am surrounded with are freaks about the sport of basketball, whereas I am simply just a fan. I really wish they would push me a bit more but at the same time I understand why they’re not, because I am an intern, and that title makes people uneasy unloading important work onto you for the sake that it might not get done. Oh well, I guess I really can’t complain because if I did walk in and they threw 8 hours of work at me I wouldn’t be able be writing this post like I currently am.
It was actually kind of amussing the other day while I was working late. The section that sits across from mine (yeah, thats right I have my own cube….kind of a sad and cool thought at the same time) is where we have all of our PR people. There job usually consists of talking to our season ticket holders and making sure that they are enjoying their time while at the Target Center. These two guys were sitting next to each other both talking on the phone to customers in very professional manners, but what do I notice? They are playing Mini Golf against each other through yahoo games, and trash talking each other through Word documents. That’s friggin cool.
Ok, I should get back to doing some things.
More to come…
