Week 3 was not really too full of surprises, just more ArcMAP and drawing. I do believe that I have gotten the hang of it, and as a result being considerably faster. The project that Eric and myself have been working on is to mark up every house and driveway for the entire city of Olathe. Never have I disliked trees and shadows so much. The desired deadline for the project in question is by October. I am skeptical that it will get done that fast, but I will try my best until then I suppose.
On a different and much more joyful note, this week marks my first payday. I gladly took it, envisioning all the shiny toys and joys that it would bring.

Growing Strides
I jumped straight into the fray this week, already developing a pattern to my working. I leave school seventh hour, get to the Public Works building at about 2:30, walk into the employee entrance, say hello to Bobby, who is at the front, walk to the back end, say hello to Eric, a fellow intern, and sit in my seat and log in. Then it is two hours of ArcMap, while listening to a little music.
In addition, this week I had gotten my employee ID and employee number, so now I could punch in and out for work time.
It gets even better.
The employee ID clips to my pocket, so I now am an official office employee. One check off the bucket list. Otherwise, unfortunately, my week was pretty uneventful, though steady progress has been made on the ArcMAP project.

Baby Steps
My first week was spent getting adjusted to my new job.
I spent the first couple days on filing out paperwork, perfecting my signature through sheer repetition, and memorizing my drivers license and social security number. In short, I caught a glimpse into adulthood.
Past that, I learned that my fellow intern, Connor Weeks, and I would be taking two week shifts in duties. His duty starting off was to scan a whole mess of paperwork and save it to a City database, while mine was to use a program call ArcMAP to draw polygons over homes and driveways for City statistics and billing.
Not to much work actually got done this week, but I got the lowdown and was completely ready for a full week of work next week.
