As the days run closer to the end, I find myself losing my mind. I have to keep track of many things, but i’m too close to finishing everything up. With less then a week left I have 4 projects due the same day. Who’s bright idea was that? My senior projects is almost where I want it to be, but I have to pull everything together. In internship we have to worry about more than the actual internship, the dreaded blogs. In my portfolio class, I still need to tighten up some documents. As for game design, I am awaiting to hear what we are going to have to do. Stress.
At my internship i’m getting paid a certain amount. Although I have finished my hours I also signed a contract for the year. In order for me to get some money to start paying my tuition for this semester, I have to stay so I can start to pay the tuition bill. For the most part I haven’t really dealt with complaints concerning jobs that I have done, for the most part it was to the best of my ability or I did what was asked of me. There was a situation at my Internship where it was me pretty much dealing with a complaint. To explain what happened, I work for the school, which means I get payed by stipend. Now there was a meeting that was concerning budget and they voted that everyone is going to get payed for what they actually did. That fair to a certain degree but there where many factors that would have made that unfair to me.
When it comes to complains, you have to be professional. We all know this but sometimes we don’t like what we hear. I scheduled a meeting with my supervisors to find out exactly what happened, being that I found out my pay was going to get cut from someone else in the office. Now I didn’t get upset, I kept a positive attitude and wrote down what I wanted to talk about. The points that I had are, it’s not easy doing design work when you have to go through many people and wait for an approval. It’s hard when my supervisors forget to bring things to my attention many times or even to send me the files I need. My favorite part, you cannot break down the whole semester when it doesn’t say these task are for each semester in the contract. Last valid point, I didn’t sign the contract until the end of October; if you want to be technical.
I defended myself and admitted when I was wrong. Now they know to take that into consideration when they have a meeting today, making the final decision.
There is six days left, too much going on. Stressed.
