Fun Fridays amd Talk of Rotation 2 part2

So since my last entry my opinon on Fun Fridays has drasctically changed. I have already talked to my Project Search teacher about this. Hopefully we end up splitting up more of our classroom time between work and fun.



The thing that bothers me about Fun Fridays is that we are supposed to be training for jobs and I feel the kinds of activities that we do takes time away from working on job skills we should be training for. Celebrting birthdays and holidays or doing community service activites doesn't bother me but there are certain other things I feel we can do with out

This first rotation is flying by... I can't believe there is less than a month until its over I found out that Marketing has no open positions which is a bummer so I had to go back and revise my list of departments I am interested in . The Front Desk is my #1 choice.
Here are the rest of my choices for potential internship sites
1st Choice #2 Cardiovascular Center or Dictation Internships just opened up in these department. The Cardiovascular Center is office work which involves data entry,answering phones and taking messages and filing. Dictation is taking notes at meetings and typing them up at a later time.
Ist Choice #3 Human Resources General office work
2nd Choice Breast Care Center
3rd Choice Endoscopy
4th Choice 3 North
Back Up Mail Delivery

I can't wait to start the interview process and learn more about the new departments that are opening up positions.

Fun Fridays and talks of rotation 2

So to give our minds a break from the stressful and busy work weeks the job trainers iniated Fun Fridays. What this means is that every Friday afternoon after our half hour break we do a fun activity to unwind. Last week we decorated cookies. I missed that because I was out sick but luckily there are tons of cookies left over so we will get to do that tomorrow as well since there were a few people absent last Friday besides me. I think that Fun Fridays is a really good idea.
We found out more updates about Scott's injury. He is going to be having surgury on Monday and then will be out for 10 weeks recovering. I will be filling in for him in the Oncolgy Center while he is out. I am wishing a speedy recovery for him. Last week was really slow in IT so I didn't have a lot to do on Tuesday. Thursday I had more to do but I had trouble focussing because I wasn't feeling good. Staying home on Friday really helped me out because it helped me to recover from my cold... which I initally thought was allegies but it turned out being a cold. The Oncolgy Center keeps me on my toes and I really like the people I work with there. I also like the people in IT too.

This morning in morning meeting we talked about the next rotation and what our intended internship sites will be. We each shared what we do for our current internship, what we like about and our top 3 choices for our 2nd rotaion.
MY top 3 choice are
1. Marketing (hopefully they have an opening,.. if not then my back up is the Front Desk)
2. Breast Care Center
3. Endoscopy.
There is also a new position opening up for Mail Delivery that sounds pretty interesting. That may be a good back up in case nothing else pans out. It will give me opportunity to learn my way around the hospital beter.
