First day of internship

Today it’s my first day of internship. I got my own little spot, where I will do most of my business during my internship. My supervisor gave me a tutor on how to log into the computer and how to use the Lotus Notes. The Lotus Notes is kind of like the Microsoft Outlook, which is a social networking among the Phoenix Convention Center employees, including email, calendar, address books, and database. I will receive emails from my supervisors and co-works via the Lotus Notes. Later on this morning, I sat on a staff meeting on preparing the commitment to excellence celebration on August 17 and 18. It’s a ceremony of promoting employees’ work excellence, interpersonal relationship, team work problem solving skills, capability, leadership and professionalism.
One thing that City of Phoenix has, which I think is really amazing, is the seamless service directory. It’s a search engine for contact information of city employees and divisions. It’s especially useful when a resident calls to a division or a person, inquiring for information on another division or another person. I will just need to type into the name of the division or the person, and then the contact information of that division or that person will come out.
