Yesterday was the last day of my internship. I finished up filing the papers that had remained after yesterday. That took about two hours, and for the rest of the time I made charts for new employees. This was something I had done for Freda at the beginning of the internship, so she did not have to show me how to do it. After I finished that, I had about fifteen minutes left of my internship. Marlene surprised me with a cake that she had baked for me. The cake was German chocolate; it was very good. We all sat and discussed how sad it was that I was leaving the hospital, but we decided to celebrate my time there after realizing that no good would come out of being sad. I took a picture with all of the Human Resources women that I had gotten to know throughout the course of my internship. They gave me a signed card, a mug, and a keychain. Although filing is not my favorite thing to do, I enjoyed the internship and will miss all of the women in Human Resources.

Today, I finished entering the fit testing results into the computer system. After I finished entering that data, I had to put all of the paper copies of the test results into the appropriate employee files. While filing was not difficult, it was a very time consuming task. For every employee, I had to find their file, punch holes in the fit test results paper, remove the tuberculosis section from the file, place the fit test paper in the file, place the tuberculosis section on top, and put the file away. I did not finish filing all of the papers but I made a lot of progress. Freda was happy that I was able to help her catch up on paperwork. I am assuming that tomorrow I will finish filing what I did not finish today.

Yesterday, I entered data into the computer system all day. The data that I was entering was results of fit testing. Fit testing is used to determine which mask size fits each doctor the best. This requires doing activities like taking deep breaths and speaking sentences. Although I already entered fit testing results into the computer earlier in my internship, the hospital recently switched to a new brand of masks, so I needed to enter the newer results.  Eventually, I found the most efficient way of entering the data so that it would only take me about twenty seconds to pull up the records of each employee and enter the data. Due to this method, I was able to enter the results of every employee that was required to take the test except for those with last names starting with X, Y, or Z. Overall, it was a boring day as I did the same thing for four hours.

Today was my last day at my internship. Tarissa had me research done of the books retail had found for the next exhibition. I just did a short description of the books so she could quickly look through and choose the best ones. After this she asked me to research the pieces on the art tour at city center. They want to expand the tour and possibly develop an app, so she wanted more information on the pieces and the artists. This was one of my favorite assignments of my internship. I really enjoyed reading about the pieces I saw in person and learning about the artists. Some of my favorite artists were Jenny Holzer, Frank Stella, Jim Bevington, and Henry Moore. I put together a document with information from different sources and the link to them. I loved seeing other works done my the artists, and I even recognized some from my trip to New York where I went to the Met and MoMA. It gave me a whole new perspective on pieces I had seen but forgot about. I have these documents to Tarissa and we said our goodbyes. I am going to visit the gallery when they are changing the exhibitions to see the process and I hope to keep in touch with her! Overall I had an amazing experience and I am so grateful to have had this opportunity.

Yesterday, I worked in the ER. My main responsibility was to make sure that the rooms were stocked with the appropriate amount of items for proper patient care. These items included nasal cannulas, tongue depressors, catheter kits, and band aids. Charles showed me where to find all of the equipment and items. He also explained to me what each item could be used for. After I finished stocking all of the rooms, I took inventory of all of the wheelchairs that belong to the hospital. To do this, Charles gave me a checklist matching the labels on the wheelchairs. In total, I found 38 wheelchairs out of 59. Charles told me that they usually only find around 26 wheelchairs. I finished the day by returning to human resources and organizing files.

Today, I worked until 1:00 PM. A volunteer, Abby, who is also Ms. Pinder's daughter, kept me accompanied. She helped me with a lot of loose filing. Ms. Cynthia, who works in the office in the filing room, came back after being in Taiwan for vacation. She is friendly. Other than that, I continued filing Employee Health files, as well as Certificates, Internal Transfer Request Forms, and Personal Action Forms. Overall, it was a productive day.

Today, my mentor Ricci was out of town on a business trip. So today at the store business was slow and there was not much for me to do. However, I asked one of my coworkers about her business trip with a client and about her responsibilities. Furthermore, I met the owner of STITCHED at the store today. His name is Eamon, and we didn't talk much but he was a nice man. I learned that STITCHED although luxurious, it is still a relatively a small brand, because I'm meeting a lot of people high up in this business, which is pretty cool.

On Friday, I started out by adding unfiled papers into the files of multiple employees. This required searching for the file, punching holes into the paper, adding the paper to the file, and returning the folder to the appropriate cabinet. I did this for almost two hours. After I finished completing files, I put together patient discharge folders. In each folder, I had to put a letter from the hospital, a comment card in order to get patient satisfaction feedback, and multiple flyers on how to take proper care of the patient once they were discharged from the hospital. After an hour and a half, I delivered completed folders to the nurses stations on each of the eight floors of the hospital.

On Thursday, I worked the Teddy Bear Clinic. The Teddy Bear Clinic is a clinic set up in the lobby for teddy bears that are "injured." There were stations such as cardio rehab, x-ray, and doctor dress up. The whole purpose of the clinic was to expose children to the many departments within a hospital. I was working crowd control, as there were over 800 children and their families all in the lobby of the hospital. Overall, it was a fun experience. I enjoyed watching the children celebrate over their teddy bears "fixed bone." Additionally, one of the kids refused to take her asthma treatments until the nurses put a mask similar to asthma treatment masks. It made me happy that we helped a child accept the treatment that would make her feel better.

At this office this morning I began planning my strategy for the new floor plans we received from the curator. The plan included new cases and new objects, so I had to do a little extra work fixing the packets and the model. After I did this I made the models for the new cases and cut out pictures of the objects so it was easy to see which pieces go in each case. I finished the model of the gallery, and it was fun to imagine how it will look when the actual exhibit is up. I made an Excel file for the new objects with their pictures, description, and access number. I added it to the previous checklist and crossed off the ones we are not getting. Then I talked with Mrs. Tiberti about the changes and she had me focus on retail after that. I looked at merchandise from a previous exhibit in Boston. They have pictures of the objects from the collection, so I had to figure out which ones we are getting and which ones we aren't. I found other pictures to replace the ones we aren't getting. I enjoyed looking through the catalog and thinking about which ones will look best. The detail on the objects is amazing, so I think the merchandise will turn out great!

This morning, I went to the office and Mrs. Tiberti had me do more in depth research for the retail. She gave me a wholesale vendor that the gallery usually buys from, and I sorted through their retailers to find the ones with the merchandise we need. I found books and other souvenirs pertaining to the upcoming exhibit. I enjoyed learning about the retail side of the gallery world, since I hand't really thought about how involved the process is. I picked through websites and found some really great items for the exhibit! I made a chart of the items with a description, picture, and price so it was easy to compare items. After this, Mrs. Tiberti gave me a couple more dimensions for cases to make models for. I also made a glossary for the employees at the gallery to start studying for the next exhibit. The next show involves culture from another part of the world, so some of the words are in another language. The glossary will make it easier for them to study and understand the objects.

Today I arrived at the office a little later than usual because Mrs. Tiberti had a meeting. She gave me some pictures of the retail merchandise from the Phoenix exhibit. I began researching these items and found some online from vendors. Tarissa sent me to the Bellagio to see Shareene. I showed her the retail items and she chose which she thought would sell best. She let me help her choose the items, and I enjoyed hearing her reasoning for liking or disliking the item for the gift shop at the gallery. After this, Shareene looked over multiple labels for the objects form past exhibits, such as LACMA, MFA Boston, Phoenix, etc. We decided on the media length description because it have a thorough explanation without becoming too repetitive. We chose the LACMA title for the show. Next, we finished tagging shirts and bags for the Muhammad Ali show. I talked to Shareene about her experience working as an artist and working at the gallery. This was probably my last day being at the Bellagio, and I really enjoyed my time there. The rest of my internship I will be at the office with Mrs. Tiberti!

Today was my first day back after my trip to Italy. I was happy to see everyone at human resources again, as it had been a long time since I had seen any of them. I worked in the education department today. Ramona showed me how to set up orientation binders for nurses. I had to make ten copies of several packets for these binders, needing to restock the copy machine four times with paper. After I filled all the binders that Ramona had, I went around all of the floors of the hospital and took down all of the flyers that did not follow state rules. These rules included each paper being laminated and pinned to the wall as opposed to not laminated or taped. Overall, I had a productive day.

Wednesday was busy from morning to night.  Not only were tons of files and folders coming to my desk, but there were some documents that I had to file in Needles.  Some of the files I had to close while others were just organization and/or copying.  With one of the attorneys, Britney, her and I talked to a potential client about his case regarding a motor vehicle accident.  It seemed pretty cut and dry, so there was not too much excitement there.  My morning tasks went by rather slow, but it was not anything I hadn't experienced before.  Then at around 1:30, Larry debriefed me on the upcoming arbitration.  Basically some women had been hit by a driver turning right which caused here to hit into a speeding car on her left.  The result of the accident was her car spun leaving minor injuries.  However, the driver of the car that hit her on the right died at the scene due to a heart attack.  Once I knew all of the basic details, Larry and I waited for the two attorneys and the client.  The arbitration was held to see who would be at fault for the accident.  Once it was over, Larry told me around how much money would be given to the defendant, but he would not make a final decision for about a week.  After the arbitration, I went back to my desk where I finished the day with some filing.

I spent all day at the office preparing more for the next exhibition. I had to redo the models of the cases because we thought the scale was 1 in=1 foot, but it was actually 1/2 in=1 foot. It did not take me nearly as long to do these ones because I already knew how to make them and the smaller size made it easier. After I finished this, I began placing the cases in the model gallery in the same way the architect had placed them on a digital model. This was fun because I got to envision the gallery and what would work best in the space. After I finished this, I sat with Mrs. Tiberti and we discussed some of the errors in the documents from the curator of the collection. We have two different checklists from the curator, a digital model, and a catalog, so everything can become a bit confusing. Mrs. Tiberti encouraged me to use alternative ideas if I felt they would make the process more simple. I brainstormed for a little while, and then I decided to handwrite the checklist and paste the pictures of each object on it. This solved a huge problem of all the documents being in different orders, which made it hard to keep organized and quickly find objects. I then went through the new checklist and determined which objects we have cases for and which objects need cases to be made for them. We also have five "extra" cases, so I found pieces to go into each case. Towards the end of the day I made a list of merchandise they had for the exhibition in Phoenix, which Mrs. Tiberti visited, based on pictures she had taken. Tomorrow we will research these souvenirs and decide which ones we will have at the Bellagio. My questions for tomorrow are how does the ordering process work for the merchandise, and how does the design process work for items that will be made specifically for the Bellagio exhibition (T-shirts, mugs, etc.)?

My last day was forlorn and a new beginning for me. It was a new beginning because it really tied up a lot of loose ends that I worried about for my future. Is law really worth it? Is law actually really boring? Is law actually really just reading and writing? The answers being: more than I thought, sometimes, and very much so. I also learned a lot from the lawyers personally that I would never even touch base on in law school. This was great. Today I went to Court and shadowed an associate. She taught me valuable tips from a different perspective than a majority of the rest I spoke to. Later on, we went back to the office where I was taken out to lunch by three attorneys. We had a valuable conversation regarding my college aspirations and they even gave me some tips about it! I need as many of those as I can get. When we returned to the office. I gave my thank you cards out and spoke to my mentor. All in all, I am incredibly blessed and thankful for the opportunity for this internship. I am glad I did it.

I was excited, yet upset for my last day. I have loved how energetic my internship was, and I was sad that it all had to come to an end, even if I was only with Nacho Daddy for 8 days, this being my 9th. I arrived and found the hostess Laura, and she took me to Sky the general manager. He was in a sort of unofficial meeting with three people from the corporate office, and he informed me that today would be a short day because he had to catch a flight, and the supervisor he would hand me over to was a bartender, which I could not shadow. So I listened on to their conversation, which was mostly about the future and Nacho Daddy on social media. Time flew by, and it was time for Sky to catch his flight. I said goodbye and thanked him, shadowed the hostess until she clocked out. I had so much fun with this internship and I'm sad it's over, but I'm grateful I had such a great opportunity!

# data[].attributes.body
Today was my eighth day at Nacho Daddy, which is also my last day here at Nacho Daddy. I felt a little sad when I arrived at the corporate office, but that does not mean I can relax and work easy. I started off my day with a lot of filing as usual. After the filing task, my instructor Jessica told me that she encountered an issue on a package that she ordered on Amazon. I figured that maybe I could help out and see what is wrong with the delivery process, so she let me helped out. I first called the customer service at Amazon and confirmed with them the problem that happened to be the delivery company UPS could not recognize the address. So i called the UPS store and update the address, and solved the problem successfully. During this process of making phone calls, it made me feel like as if i worked for a real company and was negotiating with other companies, it truly is an amazing experience and by far my favorite experience. The clock has finally come to 2 pm. in the afternoon, I did not want to leave just yet because it all felt like i just joined this big family yesterday. I can still recall every single thing that happened during this three weeks experience. My instructor started talking to me and giving me advices  if I am considering joining this industry. I stood up and told everyone how much I appreciate them and it has really been such a unforgettable time. I am grateful for this experience that Bishop Gorman and Nacho Daddy offered me, and it has really been a pleasure working at Nacho Daddy!

Today was a short day in the Human Resources office. I continued with my usual, filing loose employee documents, including direct deposit forms and certificates. I also filed more respiratory fit test forms.  I could not find a lot of employee health folders to put the papers in, so I became creative and found a box to put them in. I alphabetized and placed sticky notes where each letter would change. I am sad that this is one of the last days of my internship. I'm glad I had this opportunity to work at Summerlin Hospital.

# data[].attributes.body
My second day at the Summerlin location was probably the busiest day of all. I met the actual general manager Sky, and he was so tall. He made me organize all of the merchandise, because he had a huge box of clothes in the office and the actual shelves where all the shirts were was disorganized. So I organized it all by color and size, and that alone almost took 2 hours because there was so much. After that I gave the box to James the assistant manager, and I hung out with the hostesses. After one of the hostesses clocked out, there was a sudden dinner rush. On top of huge parties coming in, there were a lot of to-go orders, which I helped put in. The most stressful things I had to do was answer the phone with "Hello thank you for calling Nacho Daddy Summerlin! This is Claudia, how many I help you?" Luckily I only had to do it twice and James was nearby. The hostess was also running around so I had to stay up front and explain to people that I was just an intern and could not seat them yet. Eventually the kitchen had way too many orders to handle, so we had to shut down all to-go sites such as Grubhub, Postmates, and Amazon Eats temporarily, as well as completely blocking off a portion of the restaurant because there were only 2 servers and 2 bartenders. Once it all calmed down James said I was free to go, so I said bye to him and Sky the general manager. Tomorrow is my last day, and I'm excited to see what will happen!

Today was my second to last day here at my internship and it makes me incredibly sad to go! I wish I could work here until I head off to college, however, that is seemingly not possible. I started my afternoon with preparing the mail of a neighborhood meeting invitation to thousands of people nationally and internationally. It was easy. Then, I spent the rest of my afternoon following around my mentor's secretary. She taught me a lot about the lawyers. One particular lesson coming to mind right now is that every year, except the first year, after law school, you must take a 12 credit course that is law related in order to stay current. These classes are done until, according to her, you turn 70 years old. I thought that was quite interesting and in my knowledge, unique to lawyers. Finally, I learned about staff reports. I was released a little early, which gave me plenty of time to write up my thank you cards in which I will hand deliver to my attorney and her secretary. I know it was not necessary to write a letter to a secretary, however, I thought that she was quite helpful in my learning here at Kaemfer Crowell. All in all, I feel blessed to have this internship and I look forward to my last day in court tomorrow.

This morning I finished making the models for the cases that will be in the gallery. I was happy to be finished withe that project because it was very time consuming! Next I moved on to unpacking boxes from Mrs. Tiberti's old office. I unpacked books and organized them in the bookshelf. This took me a little while because I couldn't help but look at the books as I put them on the shelf. She had a lot of Monet and Picasso books form past exhibits so I browsed those. I also unpacked binders and put them in a cabinet. I finished this around 2:30pm, and then Mrs. Tiberti sent me to the Aria to do a self-guided art tour. She told me about this a couple days ago, and I have been excited to do it. There is $40 million in art in the Aria campus (including the Vdara, Mandarin, Crystals, Veer). I got a brochure from the concierge and embarked on my art journey. I had to take notes on the art and how helpful the brochure was. Some pieces had been moved, so I also made note of that. This was one of my favorite assignments so far because I saw a bunch of amazing paintings and sculptures. I really enjoyed taking a closer look at the pieces I had seen before and seeing new ones. The tour took me about two hours because some of the relocated pieces were really hard to find. I took lots of good notes and have a few ideas on how to make the brochure better! I put a picture of one of my favorite pieces in the Aria lobby, "Silver River".

Today was my last day at the hospital. I came into the hospital around five minutes prior to the start of my shift. Freda told me to just go ahead and finish filing all the papers I didn't get to the day before. She also explained how she had a meeting and wouldn't be back till around 2, but would leave her computer open so I could do data entry. After I finished my filing I went to her office to find the computer had logged her off for inactivity. It was only me and penny in the office and she had no other tasks for me. Although supposed to be back at 2, Freda showed back up around three o'clock which left me sitting for around an hour and a half. At the end of my shift I went to ms Lewis office and thanked her for giving me this opportunity and how good it was. As I was taking all the ladies came in the office to say goodbyes. They gave me a lunchbox with a cup, and a water bottle. We than took a group photo and talked for a little while. Although sad, I was happy that I could help out at the hospital as much as I could've.

Today was an exciting day. Although I continued with my usual filing I got along well with the employees at Human Resources. I chatted with Tatya, who is in charge of the front desk, and figured out we had mutual friends. There was also free food in the Conference Room, so that was a bonus. I continued filing employee health papers, including immunizations records and respiratory fit test  forms. The Employee Health Nurse came for a visit. I left the office around 4:00.

# data[].attributes.body
Today was my first day at the Summerlin location. It was definitely a lot more quiet than the Downtown and Miracle Mile locations because this one is more of a family place. Today the only manager was the Assistant Manager James, and I shadowed him for a while as he completed orders and used the scheduling system HotSchedules. I also shadowed him as he made table visits and helped out employees, and he showed me the Expo system, which is where the servers and line cooks view the customers' orders in the kitchen. James then handed me over to Laura, one of the hostesses, and I shadowed her for a while. On Mondays at this location kids eat free, and they bring in a balloon artist. He made me some sort of a bug, I can't really tell what it is. The restaurant was pretty slow, so James let me go home after explaining certain deals and special occasions that the restaurant has.

Today I arrived at the office and finished working on the info packets for the employees on the next exhibition. I had to print press releases and other descriptions of the exhibit to help the employees learn more about the pieces for when they have to give tours. This took quite a while because I had to assemble the packets and write the access number for each piece on the papers with the information and pictures. After I finished this Mrs. Tiberti had me match pictures she took at the exhibit in Phoenix to the pieces we are getting for the show. I enjoyed seeing the objects in their cases and on display. Next I began making paper models of the cases that will be in the gallery so we can get a visual of what the space will look like with the objects. I asked Mrs. Tiberti a couple of questions about the process of changing the exhibitions. I learned that it takes about a month and the pieces have to stay in their crates for two days to get acclimated to the new conditions (temperature, humidity, etc). I had never really thought about this so it was interesting to learn.

I learned about the starting process and organizational portion of law practice today by helping out one of the associates with his task of creating a chronology report, a cast of characters, and a cause of action list. I read the complaint filed by the plaintiff, and basically created a list of events that occurred on the dates in question. This was quite interesting because I was literally reading a bit of history. This took about two and a half hours and I was quite satisfied with my work. After I sent off my work through email to the lawyer, I grew nervous that it wasn't up to par with what he expected. However, when I approached his office, he was reviewing it with a big old smile on his face and he praised that it was perfect. This made made me so happy. We then talked about law and he advised me on my future and I took my leave. I am so thankful that he advised me to keep looking into internships and to be sure of my future because he, in a way, wishes he did the same. Overall, this was a very successful day where I learned a multitude of legal terms as I reviewed over the complaint. I cannot wait until tomorrow.

Today was my seventh day at Nacho Daddy. I am glad to see Jessica back at her position today, because this also means that i will have a better idea of what i should do. This really made me realize the importance of a leader, having a leader will make the whole crew worked more effectively as a group. I asked her about some questions and problem that I encountered yesterday, and while we were discussing the task and different files, Juan walked up and claim that he is planning on leaving this position in Nacho Daddy. We were shocked instantly, although not knowing Juan too much, the image that he gave me is a hard working, dominance and controlling manager. Juan indicated that he has been working at this position for 30 years, and wants to try something new. Of course, he emphasizes his love for this company, and the position that  he's at, it is just simply a matter of wanting to try new things. I found myself a little sad, although not being here for long, i do feel a bond within this crew, and sincerely sorry for Nacho Daddy about losing such phenomenal hard worker. It feels like a slower day because a of the employees went to have a meeting at the other location, so the office was kind of empty. Overall,I just completed another day of filing, while being sad and sorrow for Juan and my last day tomorrow.

Today was my sixth day at Nacho Daddy. When I first came into office I realize that my instructor Jessica was not there in her usual seat; instead, it was Juan the controller that was sitting int there. Juan told me that Jessica took a day off today, so I was kind of in a little bit of confusion of what I should do today. I started off with my unfinished folder from last week, and than asked Christine, who was the marketing employee what i could help out, since she is always with Jessica and I know her well since the orientation. She handed me some invoices that needed to be entered in the billing system, and i took over the task gladly because that is my favorite job to do here. In the middle of the day a front desk server walked in and asked for his final paycheck; however the crew figured that the paycheck for him was not ready so kindly asked him to leave his information and promised will contact him soon. This shows that their capability of solving problem, at the same time with respect and empathy. It's a little less work without Jessica being here today, but i looked forward to tomorrow when she's back !

Only about ten people came during my four hour shift. Towards the end of my shift the ladies at the front desk had left so I was the only one to answer questions that visitors had. I was able to help a few, but had to get help on others. Tomorrow will be my last day.

Today I helped Ricci, my mentor, re-merchandise the floor, which is pretty much rearranging the store in order to bring out new brands and put old products into back stock. This process was essentially my only task of the day, but it was a long assignment. Also, I got some one on one time with Ricci, which gave me the opportunity to ask him questions about running a business and being a boss. He gave me valuable advice, which will definitely help me in the future. Another, highlight of my day was that I met the legend Tony Sanchez at the store today.

I read press releases and past museum descriptions of the show, which was very interesting and informative. In the afternoon I went to the Bellagio and helped with merchandise again. I put price tags on shirts and talked with some of the employees. They were all very kind and shared similar interests as me, so I enjoyed talking about art with them. After I finished I went back to the office and made copies of the catalog of pieces. The catalog contains pictures and information about each piece, so the copies will be given to BGFA employees to study and learn about the exhibit. Overall, I enjoyed working and learning more about the behind the scenes operations of the gallery.

Today was my second day at Court! However, today matter was much different than yesterday because the Judge was on vacation! This, according to the lawyers, does happen often enough and the Judge never lets the attorneys know because it will interrupt the formalities of the process. Therefore, I did not get to see arguing of any sort, but rather see the case get pushed to a further date when the original Judge is present. This was disappointing.

Later on, I arrived at the office and went straight to a probate/litigation lawyer to discuss her case that I will witness on Friday. We ended up discussing law, college, and sharing stories for almost two hours! This was extremely helpful and interesting to me because she told me definite facts about law. I could only observe these things at first so it was good to know it definitively. After that, I grabbed a quick bite and headed back to the office just in case they need anything else done. They did not and I was dismissed. In all, I am thankful for all that I learned today.

Today was my last day at the Cleveland Clinic. I continued to study the NPH case from yesterday, but, since Christy was sick, it was continued with Jason. The exact same procedure as yesterday was conducted today. As expected, the patient's abilities subtly increased. His cognitive and motor skills both improved, and his gait became fluid. Unfortunately, I will not be able to see his performance tomorrow because today was my last day. However, if he does have NPH, it is predicted that tomorrow his abilities will decline.

Overall, I am extremely grateful to have had this opportunity. Even though sometimes I only got to sanitize or change linens, I was able to see how that helped the department. Other times, I learned from the therapists and began to discern what I want for my future.

My day in Human Resources today was relatively like yesterday. I came in around five minutes prior to my start time in order to receive my task so that I may start as soon as possible. There were many papers that had to be placed into folders so that took up two, out of my four hour day. Halfway through I asked Freda if there was anything else, she explained to me a new process of putting different documents into the employee health electronic catalog. I input data up until the end of my shift at four o'clock.

Today was an easy day. Similar to many days before, I stayed in the Human Resources office and continued filing loose papers. I went through employee health files, filing tuberculosis tests, pregnancy leaves, and immunization records. I also filed Respiratory Fitness Test forms, one that is required for all employees to complete, and the one that is the most strenuous to file. Another hospital volunteer joined me, but only worked until 12:00. I left around 2:00.

Today was my first day coming back from my church retreat at Zion National Park. I was joined by two volunteers, and one of them I knew from Confirmation. They were a lot of help with filing. I filed health records and immunizations of various employees. I also placed employee folders in the right alphabetized order in the cabinets. Mrs. Pinder said she will have more opportunities for me tomorrow, so I am very excited. I ended my shift at 2:00.

Today I was in Human Resources again. Freda first gave me the task of marking off people's names who had dropped off papers. I would have to put a check mark next to each of their names. I then spent the rest of my four hours shift entering documents into the computer and filing away certain health papers. I will be in HR again tomorrow.

Today I finally got to work on the store's website. I was tasked with publishing the products onto the online store, in order to make the items visible when they are in stock. The learning process was the most difficult part of this project, because our tech support person in all honesty had no idea what she was doing. Therefore, Sam and I had to find a solution ourselves. After finding a smooth, efficient process, I was finally able to get my hands on the website. After about 3 hours, I finished my task and pretty much done for the rest of the day.

I went to Court today! Starting earlier than usual, I went and followed a different attorney than my usual mentor to sit in on his Court case in front of a judge and everything. The case, according to the attorney, was basically for formalities. Although there was not much arguing or discussion on the topic, it was still very interesting to see how the judge would handle each case presented before him and to hear all the legal jargon being thrown around the room so casually. This particular part of my day took only 30 minutes and I was released. Since I still had plenty of more time left of my "shift", I headed to the offices to ask if they needed any help. Of course, they had plenty to be done. For the rest of my day, I helped out a secretary. All in all, I had plenty of fun in the offices and even cracked a few jokes, which was joyfully accepted. I cannot wait for tomorrow's case where I will be following a totally different pair of attorneys!

Today was interesting because I got to study under Shayna and Christy for a possible normal pressure hydrocephalus case. The patient is a 96 year old male, so it was surprising that he was recommended to be tested. This is because the treatment for NPH is a shunt, and, at his age, any procedure is risky. However, we tested him in both the occupational and physical therapy departments. Testing is a three day process with a spinal tap on the second day. Theoretically, he should improve on day two (when the cerebral spinal fluid is removed- which removes pressure from his brain); then on the third day, he should return to his original state. This is if he does have NPH.

With Shayna in occupational therapy, we focused on his long and short term memory and fine motor skills. We did this by having him recall his past schooling and childhood friends. Then we asked him about the weather, the date, and where he was. This was to test his short term memory. We also tested him by asking him to remember series of words/ numbers and list items that begin with a certain letter. His short term memory was severely lacking. Additionally, we tested his fine motor skills by having him put tiny pegs into holes with each hand, draw pictures, and undo/ redo buttons. For his age, he had decent ability; however, it was also lacking.

Then I went with him to physical therapy with Christy. We focused on tracking his balance, posture, and movement. We did this with really interesting technology that could track his movement to the inch. We watched his gait when walking and his sway when standing on different surfaces with his eyes open and closed.

In the next two days, if we see improvement and then decline, it is likely that he has NPH. I am very excited to continue this study tomorrow.

I worked mostly on sanitizing and changing linens to keep up with the heavy influx of patients today and lack of volunteers. Even with this, I was able to interact with patients via Christy today. I now know a lot of the patients and can greet and talk to them openly. I love watching their progress and seeing little improvements. Today, a lot of Christy's patients had progress checks. This means they underwent the same evaluation they had to do when they first started therapy at the clinic. All of the patients had improved in every category across the board: balance, strength, and flexibility. Thus proving that the Cleveland Clinic is important for the day to day life of people with neurodegenerative disease.

Today was my last day at the Miracle Mile location and was pretty laid back. I started the day by going to Erica the assistant manager's office. She led me to the Front of House where the hostesses stay and had me help with inventory, as they had just received new Nacho Daddy merchandise. I shadowed the hostesses for a while, and there were 2 huge parties with 16 and 20 people, so even though I was just watching I was super stressed out. After that Erica cashed out an employee and I watched, and it still kind of confuses me. Erica then left, and she handed me over to the other assistant manager, Scarlett. I followed her around a lot, and we greeted tables and she typed up warnings for the bartenders and servers. She taught me about petty cash, which is what the company uses if they need to buy something such as batteries or other supplies, and the corporate office would eventually pay them back. Overall a pretty calm day, and I finished with watching some more cash outs and Scarlett let me go. Today I ate the American Tacos, which I was actually able to finish!

Today, I helped open up the store with my coworker. I was assigned to sweep the floor, vaccum the carpet, and to clean all the mirrors. Later in the day, I learn how to create a shipment label for mailing packages with Bob. Afterwards I learned how to price items and approximate the price of a custom suit. Pricing items is actually a complex thing that involves many factors, in to gain a profit from the sale. Towards the end of my day, I sat in on a job interview with Ricci and I met the creator of Emsum Bracelets. She was a very kind woman with a vast knowledge of stones.

# data[].attributes.body
Today was my fifth day working with Nacho Daddy, and my first day at the Miracle Mile location. The hostess gave me a ND tank top, but it was a size XL and was huge, but I still had to wear it. I was then introduced to Erica, the assistant manager. I helped her out with placing orders, and she was really cool and even made me a smoothie. I witnessed the Scorpion Shot twice today, and I thought one of the ladies that took it was going to vomit. Today was a pretty slow day, but Erica and I were all over the restaurant checking the stock and going to her office. Finally we finished inputting the orders into the computer, and she had to make a few calls. She showed me how employees clock in and out of their shifts and cash out. Erica also dealt a lot with money today, which freaked me out because she is so good at multitasking and doing everything so quickly. Overall it was a pretty slow day, and at the end of my shift I ate their famous Fiesta Nachos, because we get to eat off the menu for free! :) I barely even ate half of it, but it was so good.

Today I reported to the Bellagio to help with inventory for the gallery store. I met Negar and helped her count and stock shirts for the Muhammad Ali exhibit. I got to take a look at the gallery and listen to the audio tour. I really enjoyed this part of my day because I was able to see the art. I also looked at the pieces for sale at the gallery, which included Van Gogh prints. Overall, it was an interactive day and I enjoyed talking with the employees at the gallery with similar interests as me!

Today was my fifth day at Nacho Daddy. I started off my day with all the files that I have sorted out yesterday. All these unwatered files includes excessive personal information from employees years ago, so I cannot just throw them away, instead I have to use the shredding machine to shred them into trashes. The hard part is, there's a huge chunk of them, and the shredding machine makes a lot of noises, so what I have to do is to shred them carefully and try to not interrupt any other staff member's working condition. However, I cannot take the shredding process outside the office since it's downtown outside, so I just had to try to avoid shredding during phone calls and meetings. To be honest, I was pretty embarrassed when I'm making this repetitive noises, but i will just have to bear with it. There wasn't much to do beside filing and shredding today, so my day went by rather fast.

I began my day by revising my research on booster clubs. There was no mistakes that I saw, which was a huge relief so I sent that off to the lawyer's inbox for him to read over it. He told me that he would read over my work and if he had any further questions, he would discuss with me about them on the coming Monday. However, as my day progressed, I was told that I would be going to the Courthouse three times next week with the litigation lawyers so I don't believe I will able to discuss anything until Wednesday when I come back to the office. This will be an amazing experience, especially as many of the lawyers keep telling me, "You have to go to court!" Finally, along with just being told about my next week, I sat in on a conference call with my mentor where she discussed the terms of her current case that has been going on for two years. This was fairly interesting because of all the ins-and-outs involved with it. All in all, today was a great day and it was quite exciting to talk to the lawyers about the cases that I get to see in action next week.

Today I worked with only a few patients today, but that is because there were a lot of no shows. However, the patient contact I did have was very meaningful. I saw how much the caretakers sacrifice to help their loved one. One patient, in particular, came in with her husband of 38 years. It was the most heartwarming relationship I've ever seen. She told me that they have 8 kids, 30 grandchildren, and 4 great grandchildren. She told me how he wasn't her first kiss, but he was her best kiss. He goes to every session with her. She told me that he was a keeper and he said, "I'd hope so". It was apparent that he did his best for her because he loved her, and she appreciated everything. It is saddening to know that her neurodegenerative disease, can not be stopped, it can only be slowed down. I also saw the founder of the clinic's mother today. He opened it so that she could have the best care and so he could help others going through the same difficult times. I have the utmost respect for all the caretakers and family.

Today I was back in HR. I started my shift around five minutes early with making needle prick assessment folders. These folder would be used if an employee were to get pricked by an unknown needle. The packet included things such as blood work forms, gloves, and necessary paperwork. After I had finished that tasked I filed away a folders worth of papers. Following, I had about one and half hours of my shift left. I asked Freda if she had anything for me to do, and she tasked me with entering employee test results into the Midas software. I ended my shift around 4:01.

Today was much more clerical than any of the other days. At the beginning, I learned how to file. It was not particularly interesting, however, it is a necessary part of a secretary's job, and it also felt good to relieve one of the secretary's loads for the day. Afterwards, I went over to another secretary to help with her work load. Land use lawyers often have poster boards where they mount up diagrams, examples, or anything necessary for their case. My task was to take down all of these diagrams and fold them to return to the clients. Then, once my mentor arrived around 3:00 (halfway through my "shift"), she gave me a research task that another lawyer wanted me to complete. It was to find out how to create a Booster Club. This was fairly easy, and I will continue on with this case tomorrow. Finally, I completed the day by entering in client and client emails into the computer system. It was shocking to see how many clients only one lawyer in the office has! Overall, today was fairly relaxed and I was extremely glad I could help out with some daily tasks.

After that I determined which pieces already had cases made for them and which pieces still needed cases, which would be built. I typed some of the information that would be displayed with the work that described the history surrounding the art. I also made copies of some pieces in the catalog that would be used for advertising and scanned them. Overall it was a great day and i enjoyed looking at the pieces!

Of course, I was very anxious Tuesday, for my deposition with Marianne was that day.  We had already prepared the day before, but neither of us had met the client.  Due to conflict of interest, the original attorney, Britney, could not be her client's lawyer any longer.  So Marianne was tasked with the deposition and future arbitration.  However, Marianne and I had no idea of what was in store.  That morning, there was not a lot to do; just the normal copying and calling that I had become accustomed to.  During the course of the day, I had a few reduction requests to follow up on with the medical providers, and I also had a few files to close.  The deposition was a 2:00, so at around 1:15, the client showed up.  Originally, she seemed trustworthy and sincere which is important in a witness.  At around 1:50 we left for 6th St. (two blocks down) to an office building.  We were led into a nicely furnished and decorated conference room where we met the defendant's attorney and the court reporter.  Long story short once the deposition was over, Marianne and I both agreed to drop the client.  The deposition, obviously, did not go as planned, and at that point, the case went from win-able to impossible.  Overall, the experience was amazing, for I learned a lot about another small part of the legal system.

Today I worked more with Bob in the backroom and continued to organize and clean the backroom. Moreover, I was taught more about stocking and adding new items into the system when they arrive from the mail. I learned that this is a very important part of running a store because it keeps the store up to date to what is in stock. Later in the day, I worked with the VP of Purchasing and Operations Sam Glaser on updating Stitched's online store. I'm going to learn the basics of setting up a website. All in all it was a long, but productive day. Each day I am learning more and more about the complexities of running a business.

For my fourth day at Nacho Daddy, I was in the corporate office at the Downtown location with fellow Nacho Daddy intern Ben. We started off the day sorting receipts, placing them into separate piles based on card numbers. We then started organizing the file cabinet, as there were a lot of papers that were in the wrong folders. Ms. Jessica, our supervisor, told us to shred anything before the year 2016. There was a lot of that, so we shredded a ton of papers today, with a huge pile for the next time. At break time, we were able to order something off the menu. I wasn't that hungry, so I just ordered a quesadilla. On Wednesdays the ND team has corporate meetings, so Ben and I were able to listen in on it. One of the main problems were employees that are on a full 8-hour shift that would not take the required 30 minute break, because they did not want to lose tables. Everything else was pretty confusing to me, but I understood some things about advertising and adding and changing new items to the menu. I have tomorrow off, then go to the Miracle Mile location on Friday, so I'm excited to work with a new manager and see a different location, which is apparently huge!

I started out my day by cleaning the physical therapy and occupational therapy areas. This is to ensure a clean, sterile environment for all the patients. I shadowed Christy again today and met with some of the same patients that I had worked with before. It is interesting to see their progression of workouts and the targeting of different muscle groups. Also, there is a high-tech treadmill that can project obstacles on the ground in front of a patient while they walk, has a screen in front of it that can test cognitive skills while walking, and has a harness to keep the patients from falling. It can track their gait patterns and determine things such as: how long each step is, step time, and weight shifts while walking. I love watching a patient walk on it because it can tell the therapists a lot about how the patient moves and what muscles need to be strengthened. Additionally, next week I am hoping to observe testing for normal pressure hydrocephalus.

I arrived a little earlier at City Hall than necessary. However, while waiting, I completed my study on the case from a binder I was given. I read about the several permits that the attorney was attempting to approve, as well as the proposed building site, conditions regarding limitations, etc. Eventually, my mentor arrived and we entered the City Hall meeting where I listened for almost five hours to many different cases regarding planning and zoning for the City of Las Vegas. There happened to be many requests, small and big, from the changing of a street name to a proposed apartment building. Towards the end of the meeting, it came time for my mentor and me to stand before the Council to present the firm's arguments. My mentor introduced me to the Council as her intern from Bishop Gorman. It was such an honor. All in all, it was a successful afternoon where I experienced the reality of law practice, away from the entertainment of T.V. dramas. I really appreciate that my mentor allowed me to shadow her today.

Today was my fourth day at Nacho Daddy. I started off my day with the unfinished task from yesterday which was the receipts categorizing. Fortunately the other intern at Nacho Daddy from Gorman- Claudia was there to save the day and lend me a hand on finishing this great operation. She stayed in the corporate office for the rest of the day and really was a great help. We unboxed a lot of advertising items today, and got the chance to listen and shadow on one of their staff meetings. The staff meeting was long but productive, they discussed a lot of the issues that they encountered recently and tried to come up with a solution as a team, which was the most impressive virtue that i think i should learn from them.

After having them sign in I would tell them to wait and someone would be with you shortly. After the ladies in admitting we're done checking them in, I would either have to walk them into surgery or pre surgery testing. I would explain all the "do's" and "do nots" that they can't do. It was a pretty easy and somewhat boring day. Tomorrow I will be returning to my place in Human Resources.

The start of another week at CPK went along as predicted.  I had copies, demands, and liens all waiting for me from the attorneys.  Usually I do not get work from those in the Worker's Comp. department; however, on Monday there were filing tasks and preparation tasks for Larry for his upcoming trial (in around two weeks).  I had a great time doing that because I rarely got to talk to Larry, but when I did I was very pleased with his company.  He taught me a few things that I did not know about how large corporation lawyers conduct their business.  This insight helped narrow down what I am looking for in a job in the law field.  Shortly after, I went to Marianne's office where her and I briefly looked over the case for her upcoming deposition.  As I became familiar with the case, I could already tell we would have some issues with the defendants, but it seemed like a win-able case.

On the second day of my internship, I helped open the store. I learned the daily routine before the store opens to the public, which consists of sweeping the floor, replenishing the racks, and cleaning all the mirrors. Today, I mostly helped out the logistics expert Bob in the back room. The backroom  was a mess so I helped him clean and organize the place. In addition, I helped him mail packages to clients and tag items for the store. In my opinion, it was a productive day because I got to know my coworkers and the back room is more organized now. Furthermore, I am excited for tomorrow because I get to help improve the website for the store.

Today, being my second day, began stark compared to yesterday because of all the research that needed to be done. However, today was extremely important because it was all in preparation for the city council meeting tomorrow. I happen to be slightly giddy in anticipation for that experience. Once I entered into the office, I met with my mentor who gave me my first task of the day: research the history of a building in the case. This task took me a little over two hours, however, I was able to find an article from a newspaper dating back to 1961! As you can tell, I am very proud of this particular feat. My mentor seemed glad that I found this information and even stated that she will use it in her presentation. My hard work will not go unnoticed. Moreover, my mentor gave me some background information regarding the particular case so that I may have a better understanding. I appreciate the consideration of my mentor in this regard. Afterwards, I received a second assignment, which proved to be simpler, and my day ended. All in all, this day at my internship was a success, and I nervously and excitedly await for the coming day.

Today was my third day at Nacho Daddy. I actually got the similar task that i was enjoying yesterday as a start off of my day. So I guess I can call it a great start of the day. While enjoying my morning billing task in front of my desk, there was this guy that followed some employees and came into the corporate office. Apparently he happened to be standup comedian and is seeking for an opportunity to perform comedy at the restaurant. However, he appears to be somehow ignorant by calling the restaurant arrangement terrible, and calling the general manager "lousy". Of course the people in the restaurant harshly criticized his attitude and the GM was unpleasant with that person. This also gave a lessen and a reminder to always stay humble and be respectful to people. For the lunch today i was lucky enough to go across the ferment street and have lunch at Nacho Daddy's parter company "Flippin Goods Burger". The burger there was fantastic as i expected while acknowledging the fact that Nacho Daddy also has great food. After lunch i was given a huge stack of envelops and was asked to unseal them and sort out all the receipts. The task was really a lot of work and i could not finish it today before i leave. Hopefully i will be able to get it done tomorrow and assigned with some more interesting task!

Once I finished that task I was tasked with alphabetizing certain documents and then filing them. By the time I finished that, it was already 3:30. I then told Freda there's a half hour left and if she had anything for me to do. I then put away some employee folders and made copies of two of them. Tomorrow I will be in admitting.

I did more work on the retail packages that Mike had given to me, and created a fourth sheet for each package which included the emergency lighting plans and legend. I had a little more freedom to place things throughout on this task, which was different from the previous times I had used CAD. I finished this up with about an hour left to go, so I checked over my work and then left. Overall, the internship was a very valuable experience even though it was monotonous at times.

Usually I start my day off with something at my desk waiting for me before I get in.  However, Friday I did not, but instead I had an instant message that asked for me upstairs.  Since I usually do not get those messages from attorneys, I became a little nervous.  Once I ran upstairs, the only thing that was waiting for me was a stack of reduction requests and BNR requests.  Also one of the main worker's composition attorneys asked me to prepare a demand for her proceedings the following week.  With the reduction requests I have to fax it out, and then in around a week's time, I have to call to follow up if the medical company had not replied to the request yet.  That stack took me most of the morning, for I had some trouble with some providers continuously ignoring our requests.  The afternoon proved to be pretty uneventful, but I was able to talk to some of the attorneys and just ask some questions that I had not gotten the chance to ask yet.  As my second week was coming to a close, I was excited it was half way over, but I was thrilled for the following week because of what I had on my calendar.

today was a light hot day in HR. As I arrived five minutes early (like I do everyday), I was tasked with filing certain payroll information into employee files. I did this task for about two hours until I switched it up by entering FIT Testing files into the computer. I would have to go in the excel document and change the date and type of mask employees would wear. Being hat my back is bad from sports, data entry was a nice alternative as my back was starting to really irritate me towards the end of filing. I finished my day at 4:05 which is five minutes after I'm supposed to clock out.

On just my first day of my internship, I feel extremely blessed for such an opportunity. Firstly, for this daily journal purpose, I must inform all eager readers that I will omit all names so their privacy may remain protected. Okay, now onto the juicy part of my day. Once I entered the office, I was warmly greeted by my mentor's secretary who began my introductions around the office, however, it was cut short as my mentor came to greet me. From there, I went to get lunch with four attorneys, including my mentor. At lunch, we had engaging conversation about one of the cases a few attorneys were working on and an analytical conversation about homeless people. It was absolutely refreshing. Afterwards, my mentor and I drove Downtown to address a case on land use. We met up with Las Vegas's historical society, as well as Nevada's. It was quite fascinating to see the process of lawyers not only work with the client very closely, but also with many others in order to come to a good compromise. I asked my mentor questions about law in general on the car ride back to the office about the case. My interest in law grew immensely even just after a couple hours! Then, when we returned to the office, I was introduced to every attorney, secretary, accountant, paralegal, and assistant within the office. The office was often referred to as a maze by the employees there and rightly so! The size of the office was so large. Finally, I was shown to my own desk for my internship and I even was given a computer and my own extension on the phone to complete the work I will be given. I can already tell I will miss my internship here.

After sitting up on the bench with Joe and watching all of the attorneys do their thing, I came to the realization that being an attorney seems like the most plausible and exciting career path I could take.  Anyway, once I got to the office on Thursday, since I was only in for an hour Wednesday, I had plenty of filing and copying to do.  Those tasks were just daily hassles that everyone had to endure regardless of rank.  However they day got even more exciting when I had looked at my calendar.  Kris had scheduled me to go to a deposition with Marianne, one of the attorneys, and an arbitration with Larry, another one of the attorneys.  They were scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday, so I had  something really exciting to look forward to the following week.  The rest of the day was pretty normal, for there were no extraordinary tasks I was asked to perform.  Thursday was probably the most relaxed day I had at the firm up to that point.

Today was my last day working with Mr. Dean McGonigle at the Downtown location. For about an hour or so, he showed me more of the analytical and accounting side of the restaurant business, such as net income projections from the year before and how he smashed it this year, always by over $1,000. He also introduced me to Product and Loss and how a company Nacho Daddy owns, Flippin Burgers, messed up simple things like ordering way too many paper items in the month of February screwed up their profit, and ended up losing about $2,000 for that month. He also introduced me to certain apps they use such as HotSchedules, an online scheduling system that is much easier than traditional paper schedules. I then followed him for a while as he did table visits and cleaned up tables. He also showed me the walk in, which is a freezer, and took the temperatures of the foods in there, because they have to be below 40°F. Since there was only one bartender, Dean had to dip out and help making drinks, so he handed me over to Brittany, one of the servers. I followed her for a while, but didn't do a lot. I only served one Coke Zero and polished some utensils, and I witnessed two people take the famous Nacho Daddy Scorpion shot, where you literally take a shot and eat a scorpion. It was wild. After that, Dean showed me how servers cash out and how tips work, as some of the money goes back to the company. He then gave me his business card and told me to contact him if I had any business related questions, and I thanked him for everything. He was super chill and nice, and I'm glad he spent time with me!

Friday July 14

Today went surprisingly fast. When I arrived at the filing room there was a lot more papers than before. Also, the employee health nurse, Tiffany, came with another box for filing. I filed important certificates and payroll check requests, as well as new hire orientation forms and internal transfer requests. I learned that there is a charge for when employees want to see their files. Irma asked me to make pamphlets to recruit nurses in the Valley Health System, a system in which Summerlin Hospital participates in. Lastly, I put back folders Christy was looking through in the filing cabinets. I ended the day around 3:30.

Today was my first day at my internship at Stitched. Firstly, I started off introducing myself to everyone that I was to me, and the cool thing was that many of the employees were Bishop Gorman alumni, so it was easy to get along with them. Afterwards, I listened in on a conference call with my manager that was about an event with nightclub that Stitched was working with. I got to see firsthand the networking and teamwork that was essential to the process. Next, a VIP client came in to try on his custom suit for his wedding, and I got to see the professionalism of my manager by how he treated the client. This was a really cool experience for me because I could feel the client's happiness and excitement for his wedding when he was trying on his suit. Later on, I got to listen in on a job interview with my manager, which was a great opportunity for me to see how to process a potential future employee. Lastly, I got to work in the back room and see the behind the scenes operations that are essential to running a clothing store such as tagging items, and receiving and delivering orders. I really enjoyed my first day because I got to see all the behind the scenes things that happen to run a retail store. Also, I enjoy working with everyone because everyone is so kind and easy to talk to.

Today was my second day at Nacho Daddy. I started off by finishing the filing task that I haven't complete yesterday. Afterwards, I actually get to meet some of the owners of Nacho Daddy, which I think was a great social experience for me. The interesting thing that I did today was entering bills into the computer.  My mentor gave me a chance to actually take all the bills and put them into the system. I enjoyed doing that because it made me feel like I'm truly helping as if I'm working as an accountant for this company. Another good experience I had today was that I got to taste their signal dish at their restaurant which is supreme tostado nacho, it came in a huge amount but it tasted fantastic. I'm taking Friday off tomorrow since my instructor is also taking the day off. I hope that I get to work more with the billing job like I did today next Tuesday.

My second day at the Downtown location was still crazy. Today I followed around Luis, the server assistant (who had some pretty cool tattoos). I did a lot more hands-on work, as I would set up tables after they were cleaned and would even serve plates to customers by myself. I was in the kitchen a lot today, because I would help set up to-go orders (Nacho Daddy does Grubhub orders, if anyone is interested) and bring out dishes to tables. The workers again were super nice and funny, and would call me "mija" and we'd talk a lot in Spanish, and at one point someone started blasting Regional Mexican music and everyone was singing in the kitchen. Luis then had to go and do some intense work like lifting boxes that weighed a lot more than I do, so he handed me over to one of the hostesses, Kylie. She was super nice and had me hand out some menus to customers and organize some beverages in the refrigerator. I then took a short break and made myself some chocolate milk with lots of whipped cream. For about the last half hour, Mr. Dean McGonigle the GM showed me how he checks inventory and places orders. We checked the inventory for drinks and how certain liquors have more of a demand than others, and have to have extra bottles in the inventory. He also explained how trends work and how he has to pay attention to what the customers are into, such as certain drinks they are interested in. After that he gave me a high five and let me go for the day.

Today is the last day of my internship. We toured Gensler, which is the largest architecture firm in the world. It employs around 5,000 people and has 44 offices worldwide. The first person we met was Chris who is an interior designer. She gave us a little mini tour of the office. The office is very innovative and inviting. Next, we got to sit in on a conference call with Chris. The call was from the Dallas office and they were discussing design strategies for a new office building in Tampa, Florida. Many times, architects or interior designers will need to travel to meet with clients or to visit job sites. Next we sat in on a vendor presentation. The vendor was Nevada Lighting. These meetings are geared towards the interior designers of the office so that they can have inspiration for future projects. After that presentation, we sat with Chris at her desk as she explained what her daily duties were. Chris also showed us some of the samples needed to show to clients coming from Holland. Gensler is designing a new casino there. After lunch, we met with Hung who is an architect. He showed us some of his modeling on Revit and how he can make 3D models from it to show the client. He also gave us some encouraging words on the architecture industry. The most interesting part of our day was when they showed us the VR room. The VR is used to show clients what their building will look like on the inside once it is completely furnished and everything. That was truly amazing. We ended the day with a picture and some serious swag bags. This was by far my favorite day.

July 14th:
Today was my 13th and final day interning at Moonridge Group. I brought in Pinkbox donuts for everyone in the office and delievered my thank you card to my boss, Julie. For the entire day I worked on making a biography document on attendees for the Presidents Lunch that Moonridge Group is hosting. I had to write short bios on all the attendees and include their pictures and current positions. Julie bought everyone lunch from Bronze cafe and we met in the lunch area for a lunch meeting. I discussed the "Philanthropy is" video I will be making to the whole team and they all shared the projects they are currently working on. At the end of the day Julie gave me a thank you card that everyone in the office had signed as well as a Target gift card. I'm sad my internship was over because I really did like all my co-workers and the environment at Moonrdige Group, but I will be continuing my projects with them in the future including the summit video I will be making.

It was a fairly slow day today, so I split my time between shadowing Christy and cleaning. I worked with three patients today; each had a different neurological disorder and had therapy sessions specific to them. Many of the activities done in the sessions can be applied to daily life so that the patients can move more freely day to day. An example of this is in a fall recovery activity: the patient is put in a harness that will not allow them to hit the ground while standing on top of a movable surface. When the surface is pulled, the patient must adapt to the change and regain their balance. This activity is used to prevent falls because it teaches the patient how to catch themselves by shifting their weight. Also, the workout machines at the clinic are low impact so that the patients can exercise more without being in pain. I find this all interesting and I have found that my knowledge from Human Physiology has been helpful in understanding the anatomy that need to be strengthened.

Day Seven- Veltri, Craig Kenney and Associates

# data[].attributes.body
Since Tuesday was Independence Day, the office was closed.  So Wednesday, I couldn't wait because this was the day I was supposed to meet Duffy's judge friend.  So in the morning, around 7:15, we went to the courthouse.  Duffy took me into the chambers where I first met Joe Sciscento.  Duffy had other clients throughout the courthouse, so he left me to talk with Joe.  Since Joe's session did not start until 8:15, him and I walked around talking to other judges.  I became acquainted with another judge; in which, he asked to accompany him during a trial in the future.  I was very excited meeting all of these important people in the judicial field.  After a while of talking, Joe and I realized it was 8:20, so we ran to the courtroom to get prepared for arraignment proceedings.  I sat shoulder to shoulder with Joe at the bench.  The Judge is tasked, in these proceedings, to decide whether or not the there is a chance at trial which would then call for a preliminary hearing and whether or not the defendant chooses to have a bench trial.  Also these proceeding require the judge to make  decision if the defendants have to remain in jail.  I noticed many of these crimes do not go to trial because the prosecutor and the public attorney (usually) or the defendant's lawyer make a deal that day.  The best part of my day was when Joe leaned back to me and asked my opinion on the case at hand.  I let him know my opinion, and crazy enough, he listened.  Later after the process was over he told me that he was going to go the other way with the ruling if I had not said something.  He told me this while we were walking to breakfast.  I was able to have a meal with a sitting judge, so I was quite content, to say the least.  Wednesday had been one of the most influential days in my life.

Day 5- Watson, Alston Construction (XL Concrete)

# data[].attributes.body
Today we toured XL Concrete. XL Concrete was started in 2015, but is actually a rebranding of Frasier-Martin, which existed previously. XL Concrete is actually two companies, XL Concrete and XL Landscaping Services. XL Concrete handles masonry and concrete work. Basicslly, XL Concrete can pour concrete for huge warehouse buildings, but also install brick and mortar walling for libraries and schools. XL Landscaping designs, installs, and services landscaping for buildings. Concrete and masonry work essentially forms the basis of the outside of a building. Concrete is made from cement, sand, rock, and water, and is poured into molds in the ground to make walls and flooring. Masonry work is just stacking cement blocks. Today was similar to other touring days with the other comoanies, we went with Chad, an estimator, and Charles, a project manager, for the beginning part of the day. They showed us around the company and then took us on a site tour, where we saw a tilt-up in construction. Tilt-up is a process where the walls of a building are poured on the floor and then lifted up and put in place. After a lunch that was provided through the company, we went with Zack, the Field Operations Manager and toured some more sites at different stages of the building process. We finished off with Chad, who actually showed us the plans for the new Holy Spirit Catholic Church and printed out copies for both of us. Seeing the tilt-up in process was really intersting to watch, and though concrete pouring may not be engaging, the process of how it all fits together is really cool.

Today was my first official day interning at Nacho Daddy, and I was placed at the Downtown location. I was introduced to Dean McGonigle, the General Manager at that location, and worked with him for about the first hour. He gave me a general overview of the restaurant as well as showing me a bit of the analytical side of managing a restaurant, such as the Point of Sales system, profits, and labor percentages. After about an hour, Mr. McGonigle told me to shadow Aerrick, one of the servers. He was super sweet and energetic, and a lot of the other servers were nice to me too. I shadowed for about 3 hours, and it was a wild 3 hours, as there were a couple of rush points where even I had to step in and help serve some drinks or go back into the kitchen and grab some sauces or containers. I felt right at home considering a lot of the people in the back of house (working in the kitchen) spoke Spanish, so I was able to talk to them a lot and they helped me out. I was shook the entire time because the environment was was so fast paced, but I enjoyed it a lot. For about the last 10 minutes, Mr. McGonigle sent me home early because he said Thursday's were really slow days, and Friday's are always the best because he always has something to do. I'm excited for tomorrow!

July 13th:
I had yesterday off but today was my 12th day at Moonridge Group. The main thing I worked on today was a powerpoint about how philanthropy has shaped Las Vegas. I compiled information and important quotes from a list of interviews that Moonridge Group conducted with prominent philanthropists in the city. I spent a lot of time finding the perfect quotes to use and I think it turned out really well. Other then that, I did some research on grant management software since Moonridge Group wants to invest in one to help them with their grant program. I finished up both of these jobs pretty quickly and since there was nothing else for me to do, I was able to leave early. Tomorrow will be my last day as an intern.

Today we toured XL Concrete and Masonry. The company specializes in CMU or cinderblocks and tilt-ups. The company employs around 300 people and was founded in 2015. They do work in Nevada and California. They also have a landscaping business. First, we met Chad and Charles in a board meeting room. Chad is a senior estimator and Charles is a project manager. They  gave us a tour of both offices as well as the shop with all of their supplies for jobs. They own most of their own equipment. Then, we went to a construction site of a warehouse. There the workers were doing tilt-ups of huge concrete walls. This was the coolest part of the day. Seeing a huge slab of concrete being lifted upright is super cool. Then we had lunch. Afterwards we went with Zach to the blind center. At the blind center, they are doing an expansion of the building and are using the same technique of tilt-up. We also went to a finished warehouse and drove through it to see the finished product. XL Concrete did Bishop Gorman and will do the new Holy Spirit Church on campus. Chad was nice enough to give us both a complete plan of the new church. Another cool part of the day was when Luciano showed us some of his CAD drawings. Turning something in 2D into 3D is fascinating. Overall, it was a fun day.

I was supposed to be in radiology today. I started my day 10 minutes early as I only had an hour until I was supposed to go to radiology. As I was supposed to go to radiology, I was told that the lady who would be shadowing me was in vacation. So instead, I doesn't the rest of the day filing fit testing papers. It was pretty boring but at least I have surgery on Monday.

Today I continued my work from yesterday on the MGM Macau. I went back through and fine tuned the work that I did yesterday, and expanded out the sheets by making separate sheets for each retail package that included the power legends and overall specifications. This task also took me a while, and I ended up doing this most of the day. My boss and supervisor were out today so besides that I did not have much to do. However, it remained a generally productive day.

Today was a bit more busy, as everyone in the office is finalizing the plans for the MGM in Macau that they have been working on for 5 years. I helped a little bit with the retail packages that were sent to us by a Chinese architecture firm. For most of the day I was working on making new sheets in cad that included the power and lighting plans, and the legend for the lighting materials that were sent in the retail packages. It was a bit of a tedious task but it gave me more experience working with CAD, and showed more of the possibilities of CAD.

Thursday July 13

Today was an easy day as I continued with the usual filing. I found out it is much easier to alphabetize the papers first before filing them because I constantly bring out the same folder of one employee. Now, if there are many papers from one individual, I only have to recover his or her folder once. It definitely saved a lot of time. Ms. Pinder will not be in her office today and Friday, so I am communicating with Christy a lot more. I definitely feel more comfortable working at Human Resources. Christy said that I am doing well with the filing. She also said to come to her office if I am looking for more opportunities in the future. I ended my shift around 3:00.

Day Six- Veltri, Craig Kenney and Associates

The start of the second week was a little different because Kyle finished his internship.  Basically what this means is that instead of work only coming from my floor, both floors had me running around.  I enjoyed it because it more realistically showed me how tedious this job can be.  I liked the challenge because I was getting a lot of exercise going up and down the stairs all day.  Additionally, Monday everyone was more comfortable with me, so they continued challenging me.  My co-workers would give me certain files or tasks that I have not seen before, and they told me to figure it out with little to no instruction, but I appreciated their vote of confidence.  Most of Monday was very quiet.  Since it was the day before Independence Day, many people in the office had taken a day off.  This wasn't an issue due to the fact that I was more busy being the only intern in the office.  So I buckled down and got all my work done because Duffy was taking me to court tomorrow to meet some connections (judges, lawyers, bailiff, etc.).

Day 4- Watson, Alston Construction (Teledata NV)

Day 4- Watson, Alston Construction (Teledata NV)

# data[].attributes.body
Today we toured Teledata NV, a technology wiring company that installs the wiring for data systems and also deals with machines and systems on either end of the wires. Teledata began in 1991 and was sold and then rebought back in 2005. It has approximately 125 employees and works out of Reno as well. Basically how wiring works is computers and other devices dealing with fire alarms and surveillance need to be connected to a patch panel, which is connected to a switch box, which is connected to a router, and is finally connected to a device that has cables leading to internet/service providers. These four pieces of hardware are essential for a network system to exist. Teledata has multiple wings, including service, fire systems, security (keycard and camera systems), an IT department that companies can rent out, and an audio-visual systems team that deals with TVs and projectors in a work environment. We started off with Dennis Pritchard, the CEO, and got a brief rundown of the company. Next we went with Laura Davidson and she showed us everything she does. She is in marketing but also handles everything with the website, including customer traffic and personality, allowing for a more effective targeted marketing campaign. Next we were with Ben, a sales manager, he basically tries to sell Teledata's services. After Ben, we met with Joe Pizzoferrano and Kevin Flattery, who deal with the fire systems. This sector entails mainly just handling the wiring that ties into the way fire safety systems communicate information to a central system. Next we toured the accounting sector, which deals with payroll and purchasing for a job. After that we met with Gerrit Pasco and Oliver Abella, the estimators for the company. They said their average bid win rate was 18% which is apparently typical for a company, but could be better. We met with Khania Guzman next, who dealt with the allocation of labor and scheduling. We went to Loran, a project manager, afterwards, and then met Cindy. Cindy handles the entire service department and even runs Project Managing for not only all the service projects, but also some regular projects as well. She seems really busy and doing like 4 more jobs than she should. Lastly, we met with Doug Robbins, pretty much THE audio visual system designer. This was actually the most interesting company tour yet, and as I am interested in business aspects of a company, the marketing and sales tour was really intriguing.

Wednesday, July 12
Today was a fast day because I only worked until 1:30 in the afternoon. I got asked by one of the HR ladies, Irma, to construct letters consisting of invitations to Summerlin Hospital's Open House. I had handwritten the names and home addresses of former employees who relocated to different hospitals. It was to show them how the hospital evolved, possibly allowing them to rethink about coming back. Christy explained to me the importance of employees having valid certifications because it could affect the whole hospital. When something goes wrong with a patient and a doctor or nurse does not have current certificates, it could result in a lawsuit. Other than that, I continued with my usual filing. I believe today I became closer with the ladies in Human Resources, especially with Irma and Christy.

Today I was placed in Admitting. I walked into the hospital and saw Tara at the front desk. I explained to her that I needed to tweak my schedule a little so we had a meeting about that. I then took post at admitting. It was slow for about an hour and a half but I then got a call from Ms. Lewis explaining that I needed to copy a terminated employees file. I went to hr and completed that task in roughly thirty minutes (It was a pretty big file). I then again, went back to admitting. Time went slow for about an hour so I decided to get some coffee. About 10 minutes after returning to my post, things started to get hectic. There were only two ladies working with about ten patients waiting to be helped. I would have them sign their name and then return promptly to the waiting room until called. While dealing with patients, I also dealt with a medical sales rep, printer repair man, and lady inquiring about senior living. As patients were done I was tasked with walking them to the waiting room and then taking their charts and handing them to the physician who would be examining them. The only problems was, the door was locked. Mellisa (Admitting manager), and I, worked for a half an hour to get it open. After numerous answerless phone calls we finally got a call back. They had went to lunch. "It would've been nice if you told us", Mellisa said. Long story short, multiple people have been written up. I also witnessed a man in handcuffs being escorted out of the hospital. I still wonder what that was about. All in all, today has been a pretty eventful day!

Today, I worked with a therapist. I was ecstatic when I learned that I would have the opportunity to see and work with the patients one on one. Christy, the physical therapist, showed me exercises for each patient and explained to me how they helped the daily life of the patient. For example, a patient with multiple sclerosis might want to wear weights on their wrists, so that their demyelinated nerves can be stimulated and the brain will better know where their limbs are in space. Also, I am grateful that I got to talk to the patients for more than the 30 seconds it takes to get their vitals and get a glimpse into the realities of daily living with neurodegenerative diseases.

My second day at the Cleveland Clinic went similarly to the first, besides the fact that I knew where everything was. I took patients' vitals and entered them into the computer. After the therapists work with the patients, I sanitized the used items and put new linens on all the beds. By the time I finished, the next hour patients arrive, and I then took their vitals and repeated the process. I am still not sure if I will work with the therapists or doctors, but I do hope that I will.

Today was my first day at Nacho Daddy interning at the accounting position. Although yesterday was my orientation day, I have not yet to know much about this position and how it is like to work as a member in this company.   Learning Nacho Daddy's company history and their organization, I am highly interested in their food and restaurant and was lucky that I get the opportunity to actually visit their restaurant inside out and have a taste of their fantastic food. My mentor today have introduced me today to what she's been doing which is sorting out paychecks for leaving employees. I was also assign to help her with matching checks to people's name. Later she got on the phone and talked to other staff member about fixing an issue regarding to payrolls and clock in time. After I finished my first task, I was assigned to help storing receipts into folders, and that lasted for the rest of my time there. Overall it's a interning and exciting start for me, and I'm looking forward to learn more about job that an accountant do.

Today we toured TeleData Technologies. When we arrived, we went into a board room and met the President of the company, Dennis Pritchard. He basically gave us a run down of what exactly the company does and why they do it. TeleData works with cables that run for internet networks, fire alarms, AV, etc. They do commercial and service jobs all around Las Vegas. They help design the system as well as maintain it after it is installed. They specialize in building technology such as card access, computer rooms, and regular security technology. Next, we met with Laura who is the entire marketing department. She showed us her blog for the company and some of the vans she designed. Next, we saw Ben who is in sales. He is in charge of convincing the customer on why they need their services in their home or office because not everyone understands why. Next we met with the Joe and Kevin in the fire safety department. They explained how they design fire alarm systems in buildings and the technology that comes with them. They also told us all of the requirements and regulations that they must follow in order for a design plan to be approved. Next, Amanda in accounting explained her department's duties of administrative work such as payroll and buying supplies for the field. She works closely with the CFO, Ted. In estimating, Garrett and Ollie showed us some bids and the method to the madness when it comes to bidding for a project. Their success on average is about 18% which is normal for most companies. Then, we met with Khania who is in scheduling. She schedules all of the men out in the field for months at a time. Cindy works in customer service and is in charge of the entire service department at TeleData. She is always on-call when someone needs IT assistance. Finally, we met with Doug who is in AV design. This was the most interesting because he explained that someone could have an AI in their home or motion sensors. Overall, it was a very informational day.

Friday was very hectic to say the least.  Since it was Kyle's last day, I believe they wanted to keep him extra busy.  The day started with an amalgamation of bills and records that needed copying.  After that we had to go into the Needles folder and change a munch of handwritten notes that a client sent over in order to properly organize them for easy access later in the case.  After that there were a few more small tasks.  The above took up much of the morning and afternoon (around 1:30 P.M.), so we went to lunch shortly after.  Then after lunch, Craig pulled us into the conference room (Kyle, another younger kid at the firm, and I) and talked to us about success.  He explained that the only way to become wealthy is to put our heads down and study.  After graduate school, he explained, is when we should pick up the pace.  Smart work, humility, and dedication is what should propel anyone into success.  I was very thankful that he took the time to give some advice that obviously works at some degree.  The close of my first week showed me what a great place I am working at and how grateful I am for this opportunity.

Day 3- Watson, Alston Construction (Helix Electrical)

# data[].attributes.body
We toured Helix Electrical today. Helix Electrical started in 1985 in San Diego under Gary Sheckler. Helix Electrical is actually two companies, Helix Electrical which ecompasses the California, Hawaii, and Washington D.C. offices, and Helix Electrical LLC, which encompassees the Las Vegas and Reno offices. Helix Electrical LLC was strated by Viktor, the CEO and President, who workd for Gary Sheckler in San Diego before  moving out to Las Vegas. Helix Electrical as a whole is about the 10th or 11th largest electric company in the world, and the Vegas branch brings in about $150 million expected this year. We started off the day talking with Leslie Anderson about employment, becuase he is a recruitment manager. Helix does an apprenticeship, work-study, program allowing workers to go to school while working in the field. Employment mainly begins in the field, and there is a lot of upward mobility from there due to Helix's structure with offering classes for their workers. Next with went with Rodney  Miller to tour the CAD and BIM design wing. He manages all the computer software design, and currently is busy with the Tesla factory up in Reno, a huge project for the Nevada chapter of Helix. Helix has about 700 employees in Vegas and about 310 more in Reno. Helix pretty much does any job they can throw a bid at, including residential and commercial. They actually did the electrical for Ikea and the solar panels on the roof, and their first job ever was wiring the Galleria Mall in 1985. As such a big company, they are always busy and have about 50 live projects right now. Next we went to Nick Lombardi, the Training Manager. He explained the actual work of an electrical engineer. Electrical engineers do load calculations and make sure wiring is up to code standards. Engineers do the CAD design for a building and when something changes in the field, engineers are responsible for finding a solution and communicating that solution across the project. We also learned how an actual circuit works. Wire is led from a factory through power line cables to a transformer outside a building. This transformer converts electricity in the wire into a voltage that the building can work with. From the transformer, a wire connects to a service panel whereupon it connects to the rest of the house. After Mr. Lombardi, we went with Mike Turner, the Operations Manager  to tour a  Credit One site, that was actually a data center and office. Here we met Mr. Brooks, who pretty much made the tour worth it, he was very entertaining and had quite a personality. Next we went with Lawrence, the safety director. He too was entertaining, but also realistic about his job. He realizes safety is boring but keeps people honest  about it by reminding that people's lives are at risk. Next we went with Frank, the IT director and toured Helix's server rooms and also met with Steve, a senior technician, to see how Helix handles IT problems. The problems are mainly able to be rectified with  remote accesss programs. Next we talked with Andrew Bedora, the Design Build Manager, and their team, Michail Avramidis, and Glenn. These guys were realistic and informal with us, and gave us some of the truth about the stress of working as Project Managers on the design team. Overall electrical engineering is actually really appealing, and everyone at Helix was saying how there is a shortage of electrical engineers out there, further incentivizing the field. We finiished off the day with Nathan, a Chief Estimator who gave us a short rundown on what their estimators do. Below is a picture of the branches of Hellix.

Today was a slow, eight-hour day. Ms. Pinder was really busy walking around and talking to people, so I just continued with my filing from yesterday. I heard two different codes spoken from the intercom. One was code yellow for falls and code white for stroke. Also, one of the ladies asked me to search several names in the Valley Health System's database. I wrote down their phone numbers, home addresses, and email addresses. Then, I continued with the usual filing. The employee health nurse, Tiffany, came in with a huge box of papers for me to file. It was quiet around the office with Louis not around. Overall, it was a long eight hour shift.

Today we were at Helix Electric. The company was founded in 1985 in San Diego. Helix is in the tenth largest electrical company in the world. We started out in Human Resources and met Leslie who is the recruitment manager. He basically told us how someone is hired in the company and the requirements and education that someone needs to complete in order to rise in the ranks. Then we met with Rodney who is currently a head manager for the Tesla Gigafactory. He showed us some of the floor plans for the factory and explained some of the problems that they see when it comes to spacing. Next, we met with Nick who is a training manager. He explained to us his responsibility of making sure everyone is on board with the main goal of the company. He also explained how a circuit works. Next, we went with Mike to a job site. The site is a new Capital One Headquarters. There, superintendent Brooks gave us a full run down of the building. Next, Lawrence the safety guy took us to lunch and we had a talk about the importance of safety in the workplace. We also had other talks which I enjoyed. After lunch, we met with Frank who is with IT and he showed us the servers in the building and how they work. Then, we met with Andy who is in design and build. He was cool but kind of made me doubt the field I want to go in. Finally, we met with Nathan who is the chief estimator for Helix. He walked us around and showed us the software they use to make accurate estimates for projects. At the end of the day we took a survey and was gifted with some goodies. So far, Helix electric has been my favorite subcontractors thus far.
