Do you ever feel like if you stop moving, all the balls you have in the air will come tumbling down?
I do.
This is how I feel most of the time.
I have so much to dooooooooo!
hehe
Sometimes with all that is going on I forget what I'm actually supposed to be doing and wonder if my day will be spent doing more than just typing away at my computer.
The past year I have worked really hard on bringing in interns and doing an overall revamping of our internship program. While most people in my office are anti-intern, I love them! Not only do they help you out (for free I might add), there is something so rewarding about teaching someone.
Twice a week we have interns come and work in the collections. They are so dedicated and drive over an hour to the reservation and spend the entire day with us. I am so grateful for the hours and time they have committed to their projects and at the end of the day I love thinking about how I am hopefully giving them something back in return.
Although it can often times be tiring to sit with someone for 8 hours, those are the days that I actually get to do the things I love about my job. The other day I didn't check my e-mail for 4 whole hours because my intern and I were busy working on a project (it was amazing!) They are even excited about the most mundane things and their excitement becomes contagious. It makes me step back and realize that, yeah, I have a pretty cool job!
Thank you interns for bringing me back down to earth and always making me appreciate my job a little bit more!

I'm sure they love working with you too!
