I could not think of a more exciting title for this post, so for that I am sorry.

I arrived at my internship after my Stats class. I was feeling like it was going to be a good day since my 3rd term grade in that class was 8 points higher than my 2nd term grade. But I am no longer a "pleasure to have" in his class....hmm....

Last Tuesday over vacation, I can into work in jeans because we were filing allll day. We moved boxes and boxes of files from the Ugly Closet to Room 3 (3rd grade classroom). I saw a man's file who was born in 1901! I also found some files with some of my own blood on it... it was a paper cut-filled day. Today, when I went into Room 3, there were boxes stuffed with paper all over the room. Thank goodness they belonged to Payroll. I don't want to do any more filing for a few days, if not weeks!

Today I used Munis for the first time (yay!). I moved retired employees from one file to another. It's more exciting than it sounds, I promise. But Munis is set up so that I had to print a report for each employee I moved; I think I killed a few trees today. The best part about the reports, however, was the bottom. It says "END OF REPORT --- GENERATED BY..." and then my name. I feel so special! It even says 'kgreer' at the top! Mrs H. showed me a part of Munis where I can change people's info to whatever I like. Of course, it only stays that way on my computer. She told me that I can give people I don't like weird middle names. I think I'll change my mom's middle name to 'Danger'.

After that, I worked on health care bills and insurance. There are so many choices for employees, and each deduction is different. I had to "tick and tie" to make sure that everyone is getting what they want. Some people want life insurance 15 times higher than others, and some people have life insurance for their spouses and children, as well.

Other good events:
- The Superintendent got my name right (finally, after 2 years of knowing me)
- I picked my college! Yayyy! I'll be in NYC next year. 5th avenue, here I come!
- I discovered cream in the frig for my coffee. Great success.
- I decorated my office! I'll put up pictures next time I remember to. It is now colorful.
