Well guys I knew it would happen eventually but I finally missed a week. Didn’t get around to writing an update last week but that just means I have that much more to talk about this week. First I’ll start with the obligatory amazement at how fast this summer continues to go. I’ve already been in Savannah for 8 weeks and I’m just 6 work days away from being done with my internship with Target. Still absolutely no complaints about my summer but I will be honest I am just about ready to get back to Raleigh. I honestly think that since I know I have to get back to school eventually I just wanna get back and get going so I can get this last year over with. But anyway let’s jump into what’s been going on with me.
On the work front it’s been pretty standard. I go into work three long days a week and I get to experience planning and running both inbound and outbound functions of a fulfillment center. It is honestly really fun work. Every day you walk away feeling accomplished which is something I look for in a job. Past the day to day, I’m getting the opportunity to work on multiple projects at once. I am getting to learn how to partner with leadership, peers, and team members through the problem solving process and because of that I am able to deliver real results. By the time I leave I feel like I will have done a few very good things to help this building. I’ve tackled things ranging from general process improvement, standard work changes, and capacity planning heading into peak season. It’s truly been great and I’ve gotten all the support I could have possibly needed along the way. I’ll update you all on results in a couple weeks when I’m fully done .
Outside of work it’s been a lot more of the same. I’ve gotten out and about, explored Savannah, taken good pictures, eaten at some good restaurants and tried a lot of coffee shops. It’s been great because when I’m not at work, I’m walking around. I’ve found it much more enjoyable to get out and about instead of just sitting in my Airbnb. On the rainy and hot days I may go see a movie or just sit in a coffee shop and watch Netflix or write. It’s been really great. I also had a chance today to be a little involved in a volunteering event with the team from work. We helped out at a pet adoption event that was hosted by a local brewery and the Humane Society of Savannah. That was a fun afternoon. Can’t complain about hanging out with dogs and drinking beer. Honestly if I wasn’t leaving in a week and a half I really would have considered adopting one of the dogs. Like for real those dogs were so cute. Great afternoon for sure hanging out with the work team outside of the office also. Bunch of great people for sure.
Well anyway, I don’t need to ramble too much more. Just a quick update. I hope you all had a great week and have a great weekend. Think about me while I’m working hard. Looking forward to enjoying my last couple of weeks here and definitely looking forward to getting back to Raleigh as well. For now though happy Friday and have a great weekend! Love y’all.
Great update, love reading these. Missed you this weekend but know it was for a good reason. Take care, we love you.
