I spent maybe less than 4 hours in my car today.
Ugh, ugh, ugh. I hate the drive to internship. I work there 3 days a week for 9 hours a day. And it's an unpaid internship. Not that many people understand that. I'm getting paid in experience.
Today was okay. First I was told that I made some mistakes on things. Ugh...Then I had to make a call to find a production supervisor. This lady I was on the phone with was questioning my "position" in the company, when I finally resigned and said, "I'm just an intern." To which she said, "You are NEVER just an intern! You're more than that." And then she was a bit nicer.
Then I had a block of time where I was doing NOTHING AT ALL. I was thinking in my head, "Do I really belong here?" Because honestly, this isn't what I want to do. I don't want to make calls or do any sort of office work. I've done that for my past two jobs. I'm done with that. I'm learning a lot when it comes to the process of getting commercials produced and it's all helpful and interesting, but I don't want to be in an office.
Suddenly, while sitting in the conference room alone since that's where I was told to wait until there was work to do, suddenly working at Disneyland didn't seem like a bad idea. I thought that maybe I could be that person that stocks the stores or picks up trash. That honestly sounded appealing to me than sitting in an office. So I thought of my "quitting story". What could I say to get myself out of this?
Sorry to end it here, but I'm real tired, and I have to wake up early for internship. Will continue tomorrow. No work on Friday! Gnight!
