My work environment is very relaxing, and peaceful. (At the very least, that is how I see it.) For the most part, it is quiet. The typical noises I hear are that of the accounting interns talking amongst one another, as well as my supervisor taking business calls back to back. Sometimes, the only sounds in the room would end up being just the clacking of keyboard keys. Currently, the rarest noises come from truck and car horns blaring outside. Depending on the day, the noise would be minimal or escalated. Thursdays are the loudest at there are a lot of interns present, whereas Fridays are the quietest because there are usually only three or four interns present, which are usually myself, Savanna (the second design intern), and two interns from accounting. Putting that one occasional vehicle horn to the side, it is generally a quiet work environment.

In terms of workplace morale, it is usually very positive (or at least I think it is). For the most part, everybody works on their assignments without any issues. Savannah  and I would stick to our individual tasks while occasionally checking up on each other’s progress. For the most part, neither one of us talk to the other interns except for one in Marketing because there has never been a reason to be involved in other sections that have nothing to do with design. So far, there has been only one time when the workplace was a bit on edge. The situation was that two accounting interns were constantly changing their schedules, and not showing up on the days that they were told to appear. My supervisor did get furious to the point that she was on the phone with her boss for about an hour. They were speaking in another language (presumably Italian), but it was clear that there was a mutual anger between them. Despite not being an accounting intern, I still felt a little bit freaked out as I had never seen my supervisor angry before. Aside from that one incident, the workplace is primarily very positive.
