Can You Smell It?

Well, I can smell college basketball in the air.  Art has been telling me for weeks that a tough task has been approaching.  So I was ready.  The tough task arrived on Thursday.  He apologized, as he has done a couple times before handing off tough tasks to me.

As college basketball approaches Art needs to know when many New England colleges play their games so we can easily keep track of them.  The task that was handed off to me to make a master list of all these schedules.  According to Art, this job took the previous intern a week and a half to finish.  I didn't cower in fear, I just got to work. 

Throughout the day I got in a considerable groove, I had more than half of the schedules done... so I asked Art if I was doing it correctly.  I was not only doing it correctly, he was thoroughly impressed by the pace I set over the first half.  Needless to say, I went back to work after checking in with him.

As the day began to come to a close, I finished the master schedule and sent it his way.  That's right readers, I finished what has been known as a weeks worth of work in about 6 hours.  And it was done correctly.  It was an accomplishment I was very proud of.  I take great pride in the work I do, and I know Art and the rest of the staff notices it.
