This was an extremely hectic week, right from the get go. Unbeknownst to me, our resident accountant and HR representative had received a better offer for her employment on the Friday prior. Come that Monday, she had accepted it and was no longer working for us in any capacity. Without any warning, we were suddenly down a person, and as the intern, I picked up the slack before anything could go wrong. I have some new duties now, but they mostly boil down to data entry, printing and scanning documents, or just general IT, which is easy enough for me. This definitely changed how my mornings in the office went down, because before it was maybe a slow trickle before the lunchtime rush, but now, I usually get emails asking me to address things before I\u2019ve left the house in the morning. I actually don\u2019t mind, it just makes for more boring afternoons. The majority of the workload is now in the morning for me, and I feel like it just keeps me going and distracted until either lunch or they run out of stuff for me to do, which is a daily guarantee. I have noticed my workload steadily increasing bit by bit, so I hope something will be able to keep me occupied for a full workday. It has happened before, but it is rare. It only happened because there was a repository of receipts that I had to clean up before the day was out. I was occupied with other projects until about 2 that day, so when a coworker asked me to save and print receipts, I actually had to put it on the backlog, where pending projects go. I haven\u2019t been able to use it all summer, but now I finally can. With that task, I was the last one out the door, and it was still only 4 when I left.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
