“It is necessary … for a man to go away by himself … to sit on a rock … and ask, ‘Who am I, where have I been, and where am I going?”
— Carl Sandburg
Okay, Carl so I don’t go and sit on a rock, but I do think it’s important to look back every once and a while and reflect on the past. George Santayana once said that “Those who are unaware of history are destined to repeat it” and sure, he was probably talking about world history but the point is that the past can teach us about the future. I’ve been so busy that I almost forgot that today is my 1 month anniversary here at RadiusOnline. So join me on my “Virtual Rock” as I look back and reflect on my first month at RadiusOnline as an online marketing intern.
Too much coffee to count (same goes for Ramen)
23 – Number of days I’ve been at RadiusOnline
19 – Thought of the day emails
14 – Number of blogs I’ve written
8 – Number of Team Meetings
(Okay so I’m not in that meeting but I needed a picture for it….so just pretend)
4 – Number of Friday lunches
2 – Number of birthdays I’ve seen
1 – Number of awards Radius has won since I’ve been here
1 – Number of Braves game I’ve been to.
0 – Number of times I hadn’t looked forward to work.
Okay, so I almost lost this whole post when the power went out. Thank you WordPress for auto-saving my post, I take back all the bad things I said about you.
Anyway, Jae and I have been doing phone interviews with previous interns and I’ve noticed one key similarity between all of them. When asked the question “What was your favorite part of interning at RadiusOnine?” they all answered the same thing, the people. You can’t enjoy your work if you don’t enjoy the people you work with, so I want to take the time and thank everyone for being so kind and welcoming! It takes awesome people to do awesome things and I can’t wait to experience another month here.
