Practicum - Day 3

Today was my last day working with Guest Services. My supervisor gave me more information about the job and even provided me with a job description. It was very similar to my first day at the Georgia Center in that I would help people with their luggage and greet them at the door. It was raining so we also had umbrellas in hand to meet guests at their cars if necessary. I enjoyed working with guest services. My supervisor told me that I would either be working at the desk or with cleaning next so we will see what happens. (In all actuality, my supervisor let me go two hours early because it was completely dead. I only worked a total of ten hours but he said it would count it was 15. Score!)

Practicum - Day 2

Today was very similar to my first day at the Georgia Center. Since it was a Sunday night there was only one person scheduled to work and he was not expecting my arrival. There was a lot of time spent waiting for something to happen. Occasionally, there would be someone wanting to be picked up/dropped off and my coworker would tend to them while I manned the desk. Alone. I was apprehensive at first but then I realized I would rather be at the desk then driving a large van around. Plus, I was trusted to be left alone so I felt like I could manage. I answered a few phone calls and chatted with waiting clientele but nothing too spectacular. Towards the end of my shift, I took out the recycling, vacuumed, and learned how to polish a cart. All in all it was a pretty relaxing shift.

Today's completed hours: 4
Hours left to complete: 37
