Presentation

My last week with CtP has been bittersweet.

I had to do more hours during these last few weeks in order to make time for school, since I did in fact have other work to catch up with.

I was asked to work with the company remotely, which I did not object to. Finding time at the end of the term is a bit tough, but I plan to help where I can until I decide to find a new position.

I was happy to finally meet my quota, where I was worried I would not, but in the same breath, I’m sad to leave my supervisors, two of the nicest people I have ever worked with.

I leave with a fair amount of work to show for my time, a good connection to the company, and a somewhat heavy heart. I genuinely had fun working at CtP. Peaceful, quiet, getting things done and working directly from the source instead of through middlemen. I hope to see CtP become more successful, and if possible I’d be more than willing to help on that front.

This week, my other partner left CtP, meaning I am alone once again. It’s a bit unfortunate that it took this long to work by myself again, since I preferred it that way. But in wake of that, I was given an entirely new project to do.

There is a side project my supervisors are working on called Free the Textbooks, a movement aiming to make textbooks free for students, namely college students who spend an arm and leg for books they’d only be using once a term. I was tasked with revising the logo the company is using.

This was unexpected for me, yet I was excited to try something new, and something I had more creative freedom with, so to speak. Thankfully it wasn’t something that required multiple people to develop.

However, my time with CtP is almost up, and there’s still a lot of work left to do. My biggest fear is appearing incompetent to a group of people who seem to appreciate my helping them.

I’ve honestly lost track of these posts, so I’ll try to summarize everything the best I can.

One of the people assisting me with my design left this week. That left me with one other person to help design dozens of banners. I didn’t really consider it a loss; other things take priority, so I understand.

The pace at the workplace hasn’t changed much. I work as I can, and I make sure I’m up to date with whatever resources my supervisors are using.

I find it kinda hard to believe that my time at CtP was ending. It felt like just yesterday that I started working here, and I can say that it was an enjoyable experience. Had I had less to do throughout the term, I would have been a lot more focused on the work; while this is something of a drawback, I can say I worked efficiently with the time and tools I was given.
