…When Pigs Fly!

  • admin

I checked with USDA, NASA, and Santa, and no where could I find that pigs fly. However, my experience at Double R Productions, my winter break internship, has shown me seemingly impossibilities that made me believe that in fact, pigs do take flight! When I showed interest about getting work over the holiday break, I didn’t think it would come true. I never had work experience and didn’t think my first task would be interning at a company like Double R Productions. Waking up at 5:30 a.m. for a college student on break was absolutely unheard of in my book, along with riding the commuter bus and Metro with my father! The fact that my daddy escorted me all the way to the front door on the first day of work was also strange, mainly because that is something my mother would do, but also because I am nineteen years old! I could feel myself growing up during the first two days.

 

Within hours of arriving at the office, I got into a Zipcar with a complete stranger (Claudio) and let him take my life into his hands by driving me around D.C. I delivered holiday cheer to clients dressed up in a Santa hat. I really enjoyed putting smiles…and puzzled looks on people’s faces throughout the city. When I returned to Dupont Circle, Rosemary assigned me a list of prospects to research. I spent the remainder of the day playing detective.

 

The second day my confidence level grew as I had already dealt with meeting the employees and figuring out my work space. When I arrived in the morning, I got right to work researching for a project. It was surprisingly one of my most https://shlclubhouse.org/pharmacy-online/ enjoyable tasks. I also played secretary and operated the phone system. Thankfully, my first phone faux pas was with Fred Baer, the man who got me the internship…also a dear family friend. I spent the day glued to the computer screen, only breaking to watch the White House special for women small business owners with Rosemary and Catherine. Later I watched cooking clips on YouTube, and tried to come up with gimmicks for a new client. I’m not much of a cook, but it really stirred my attention!

 

On day three of the first week, I navigated the metro system entirely by myself…to the surprise of my father and I. For some reason, many only cares about one side of the problem (namely, whether Cialis can be mixed with alcohol or not). At that, they completely forget about the negative effect of alcohol-containing substances on the whole body, and reproductive system in particular. While a pill of Cialis tries to help nitric oxide to unblock blood flow to the pelvic area and to cavernous bodies, alcohol does things the other way round. Read more about it on https://medimagery.com/buy-cialis-online-generic-cialis-tadalafil/. After finally reaching Double R Productions, I got right to work and booted up Avid 3 without crashing it! Throughout the rest of the day I did numerous things for the first time: buzzing clients in and escorting them upstairs to Double R, transferring calls, using the intercom system, operating the elevator, learning to make coffee, and most exciting, hailing a taxi! My first week is ending, and I’ve already lost the game Never Have I Ever…
