Fun at work

It has been almost a month since I started my internship. All the coworkers are friendly and I enjoyed working with them. My boss, Jon, is different from the supervisors I have worked with. He likes making jokes with us and always takes us out for lunch. Last Friday, we went to the Miller’s in Dearborn. I definitely recommend this place. Their cheese burgers are awesome.

I have been mainly doing two projects right now. One is the fixed asset project. I have identified the assets that have no tags or those have tags but not in the database. To further working on this project, I need to cooperate with the material manager, who is responsible for purchasing these assets. We would start our discussion next week. Another project I am working on is to prepare the journal entries. There are some templates I can follow for those. To prepare for those, I was trained by the assistant controller, Deanna, and need to read some supporting documents. We have prepared for some of them, but not all.

Last Saturday, we had an inventory count. Since all the inventories should be static when we conduct the count, we have to do it over the weekend. We started at 7, so I had to get up at 5:30, which is a pain. Luckily there were donuts and bagels waiting for us as we arrived. The inventory count is not so difficult as I thought. My team was responsible for the resins in the warehouse. We wrote down details about inventories on tickets, and the auditors would audit and sign. Then we collected the tickets and returned them to the accountant. The tickets are very important. Therefore, all the tickets need to be returned, even the voided ones. After the accountant input all the information about the tickets, I helped her audit the information later in the week after.

After the inventory count, I went to the Tiger’s game with Jon and Deanna. The tickets were from the plant manager as a reward for our good performance in SOX audit. It was the first baseball game I went to. Although we lost the game, I still had a great time.
