The prompt I chose: 7. What has surprised you most while working at your internship?
What surprised me, and didn't surprise me, is how, well, boring it is. The work I have is going to each contact in each company, and making sure it is 100% correct. It's repetitive clicking, and all I really do is stare at the monitor. However, I wasn't surprised I didn't get the cool fun jobs of fixing computers because I'm not a qualified technician, and I don't doubt that the company would be scared of me doing such a job. So, they gave me grunt work/work they've been putting off because they have more important tasks. Do I blame them? Not really. I'd give me grunt work if I were in their shoes. But at least I learn valuable skills that I know I will need in the future and that's why I'm here. To learn.
