Update #1

Today is July 6th. It is a hetic day for me because I am the only one in the office. This doesn't usaully happen, but Laureen, the other summer fellow, is working with the Bike project and Britti is doing summer intern training. Starting tomorrow we will have new summr interns who are even more new to this than me. I hope that I will be a good example for them and I will be able to help them. So far I have had a couple frustrating experiences with clients. Today one of my clients didn't show up which is really dissappointing because I needed him to sign a housing form and we can't get him on the waitlist until he signs it. Last week I had a extremly frustrating experience with one gentleman who came in for job search help but had very little interest in actually finding a job. He said he wants a easy office job ("like you have" he said) and constantly remarked about how tired he was. He saw finding a job as pointless because he said he would rather make money illegally. Working with him made me uncomfortable because I was not sure how to handle a client who took no interest in their own search. I have been working on my goals, and I want to talk to Britti about them tomorrow. I am getting more used to working here but it is sometimes hard because you never know how many clients are going to show up when they are supposed to. Sometimes I feel like I have no time at all, and sometimes I feel like I am sitting ehre with nothing to do because a client didn't show up. I am exicted to met the new interns I will be working with tomorrow.
