Tales of a Gypsy's Adventures

Adventures in Corporate America

USA | Wednesday, 8 July 2009 | Views [496] | Comments [1]

After temping at Covidien for the last 8+ months, I've learned some vital "corporate" lessons.  The different sizes of file labels; which restuarants are the favorites for lunch deliveries; all things related to Microsoft Outlook; the cleaning, organizing, and labeling of multiple closets; and the making of creative promotional items, to name a few.  Even more so, learning the personalities of the people around me and their particular "ism-s."  Who is super-anal and likes to have all staples going in one direction; who can be silly; who thinks that spreadsheets are the coolest things ever; and who was tragically born without a sense of humor?  It's been fun, interesting, at times frustrating, but mostly it's been great.  And I've enjoyed my time here. 

Thank you to all the people I've worked with/for over this period.  I wish you all the best in your lives and future endeavors.  Remember to take the time to have fun!
