Ok, I have to take the biggest escalator EVER to get from my train station up to street level to work. And by biggest EVER I mean, not really, especially considering the CNN building is somewhere nearby and they have a super huge one.

Work takes up a lot more time than I thought. So far it has been pretty cool. I have been locked up in a training room with all the other interns and new hires learning about how to use my laptop, MS Outlook, how to search through the firm’s website (more complex than you’d think), and stuff like that.

Tomorrow we will split into our functional areas and learn more about how to actually do our work I think. So I’ll be learning about audit-related stuff.

They have been telling us about how we need to be proactive about our own careers and reach out to people, which is the only stressful part because I have to make sure to look up people I will be working with, and come up with something to say to them in an email.

I am loving Outlook though, because whenever I get an email about meeting with people, we eventually make an official meeting through outlook and it goes on a calendar right next to my inbox.

Probably you all knew that already, but I have always used web-based mail, so Outlook is exciting!

In other news, Adrienne from Jr Deputy Accountant posted a link to these comic books you can get from the Federal Reserve. Whatever your opinion on the Fed (her’s is quite the negative one!) they are pretty entertaining. Titles include “Wishes and Rainbows” and “Once Upon a Dime”.
