So, what's happening out there in the real world? More than here I hope. How was your weekend? That's nice, mine wasn't as good. Oh sure, I took and passed my Driver's Exam and everything, but I got three DVDs from the library and they all sucked. I actually started swearing at the Garfield DVD I got because at the good part it skipped to the credits. >.< I hate people for not taking care of things that arn't theirs! Anyways, I rant, sorry
Another week here at ISI, and I have no clue as to what I will be doing. I will most likely be with Kelly today, it's a Monday and I don't think it will be healthy for a drowsey me to be by a printing press or an ingraving machine. Hopefully we get to go take a look at one of the systems around the ISI building and I'll be useful.
On another note, How would we know if we are graduating? It would be pointless to pay the fee for the gown, cap, and everything then find out that we arn't graduating. I don't know, maybe we go talk to you? (You as in the respected Senior Advisor) I don't know, I want to more about it. I'm stressed right now with setting up for college, Walkabout, my job, family issues, getting ready to go to Canada and getting ready for prom. Cleaning up to move out from my home, etc etc. I wish you guys could help me out, even a tiny bit!

Fishies go pook pook pook
See, that has nothing to do with this blog entry. I couldn't think of anything else..... D=
How could I see myself here in the future? I can't. The layout of this buisness is that everyone has their own place, and me being here is like a pink sheep in a flock of black. I get to work, but that's really taking some other people's jobs from them. Even if they're little things, it seems to throw the certain job off the axis.
To come and work after School ended... I couldn't see it happening. It takes a lot to work here. Sure, everyone here has their own thing going on, and likes to prank each other, but their work is so in depth to the degree that my ADD mind would simple give up. I admire the people who work here because they have the minds to do these things, in which tells of why I wouldn't.
I admit, I love playing and joking around, but I wouldn't be able to be myself here. I have too much energy and a short attention span.
I would so not be a good match to be here at ISI.

Another Notice
Looking back into my blogs from before, I saw that the last one to get any comments to show that you (As in James) were reading it was in March. Please read these, okay? I work hard on (most) of them!
Since tomorrow, Wednesday, there isn't any school (And no way for me to get here for there isn't anyone here at 6-something in the morning), I won't be here and therefore no blog for tomorrow. I'll write it today.
Monday I really didn't do anything, I blogged, read a book, stayed with people here and there, ate lunch, tried to think of something to write, crashed, then left. Today I'm really hoping to go work with Kelly and learn the system better, but we'll have to see how that goes.... He'll be here... now, Sam (His wife) just walked in.
On another note, Angie just walked in! She was gone for a while because she got surgery on her knee or lower leg. She's been gone for about 2 monts and everyone is already like, "ANGIE! We missssssed you!". We have, what is ISI without Angie.
Well, I know this is kinda short, but I'm gonna go now and go intern with Kelly. I'll blog again Friday!

So I've noticed....
When looking at my blogs, i realized that there are weeks with only 2 blogs in it. Where has my mind gotten too? I can understand last week, I was only there on Friday and such, so I consider the fact that 2 blogs were posted that day is cool. Like, uber cool. Yea...
I'm mad... no, not mad, pissed off! So I found out (And I don't know if I had written this before) that if the english Walkabout credit thing isn't brought up to a ME or higher, I won't graduate! What the hell? That's bull! I try as hard as I can to write these things and put down something that I think people will like, and for what? I know people are going to read these and I don't want to type for 40 hours about filing invoices that took all of 4 hours to sort and put away. I'd rather talk about the funny things here at ISI that has something to do with what ISI does as welll as entertains you. I know that's not what blogs are for, but why would someone rad this when it's boring, like a... I dunno.... triple Calculus book mixed with History 101 of... hm...The british sailing to American to settle for the first time. I wouldn't want to read that crap!
But I disgress (Is that even a word?)
Friday I couldn't do much, no one was in the factory working, and Kelly was doing something odd.... (It has something to do with a workout thing). So I was with Wanda, doing her comp stuff for her. She was nice and took me out to lunch... It was some... bar, but it wasn't a bar... it's in Grove City, the food was really good! After we got back.... I had a headache... I might have snoozed a second at one point.... I don't remember... I had to work that night, Drivethru window is evil! I CAN'T LOGIN TO BLOGGER AT HOME!!!! D=
Ranting as always, Tara

Waiting wait, ever waiting
With the end of my current walkabout, I was left at home waiting for something to happen, anything. Getting mail from the mailman was more exciting than most anything in thos 3 days between Senior Seminar and now. On the first day I got my temps renewed... that was about it. By 11:00 a.m. I felt like I was slowly going insane, talking to the cat about something or other, listening to the theme of Tetris over and over again. By the time my dad was home I was on the floor in my room cutting through some fabric convinced that I was making a skirt.
Wednesday was a little better, I had decided to Blog, but NO! My dad had the cookies blocked on the computer so I couldn't log onto the blogger website. Fuming, I 'hacked' into one of the administrator accounts to get it running, but with no such luck. Getting bored with that, I messed with the firewall controls until I could play one of my computer games... while listening to blaring rave music. It was all I could think about, the beats that passed through the body and carried it away in a wave of darkness with neon glowsticks. Serriously, I even wrote a poem about rave music and sent it to my friends on Gaia. I got off the computer, played Dance Dance Revolution, then went into work for the rest of the day.
Thursday wasn't much better, I spent the whole day reading yaoi stories and listening to blaring rave music. All day. At one point (at 8:00 a.m.) I was going on about rainbows to a friend of mine. I don't know why. I kept trying to call Pat to let him know to pick me up Friday to take me back to ISI (Amy just told me to go ahead and go back), and I got frustrated at not being able to get ahold of him. Giving up, I headed to work where my already shot nerves were tested when I was put on Drive thru to learn how to work in that area. There's this buzzer that goes off, and it's really loud. I could litteraly feel my heart pounding away in my chest. Then the Icecream machine sprayed me with vanilla, and the strawberry syrup made a not-so-nice fountain of sticky on the floor.
I'm just glad to be back at ISI

Explain your experience at your site to someone who is unfamiliar with your walkabout
I guess I should start at the begining with a direct quote from my site's webpage.
"Identity (n): The distinct personality of an individual
regarded as a persisting entity; individuality.
Who are you to your customers? Your identity is expressed in many small but important ways, each designed to set your company apart from the competition.
Offering an extensive line of products including custom screen printed and engraved identification products, Identity Systems, Inc. can help you build your company's identity. We offer high-quality products at competitive prices, with clients ranging from local and regional organizations to some of the largest retail and food service chains in the world. Contact us today to find out how Identity Systems can work with you to develop a customized name badge program or distinct signage solution to fit your needs."
My walkabout is Identity Systems INC. in southern Columbus. Identity Systems INC, otherwise know as ISI, was founded in 1986, originally called "Identification Systems, Inc.". As the company grew, the walkabout was moved from it's King AVE. location to it's current location on Stimmel rd. At the new location, the facility could easily support 60 people. With it's goal of to continue expanding, ISI is one of the top badge makers in the world.
At ISI I've had many different experiences. I've worked with people engraving the badges, I've watched how the information is put into the computer, I've run errands and I've helped promote the website and ebay store on the internet. The people here are fun loving, often willing to share a joke or two, and will make experiencing the way a buisness should be run in a whole different way. For anyone looking for a walkabout with many different experiences, I would recremend they come here.

Walkabout Wednesday
Welcome back to this... place of... doom... ._.
Anyways, today is wednesday! I've been just working on my Walkabout proposal today and having different people prof read it and such. I'm going to print it out and let Amy have a look at it, then find a different staff reader.
Yesterday I basically worked just for Kelly, logging on the computer and web hosting the ISI Ebay store and ISI homepage on websites from google to dogpile. Txing work really, 'cause you have to think up a witty comment for the description og the site, the title, etc. etc.
Recently I've been in a writing and drawing mood.... and a mood for all things funny... like www.chucknorrisfacts.com and www.icanhascheezburger.com
Really, I have nothing more to say really. I could talk about it to your face, but I doubt you'd like it.

OH NO!!!!1Shift1!
I totally forgot to write a blog on Friday. I'm soooooooooooooooooo sorry!
Anyways, welcome back to this blog that is my mind. I've much to tell and so little time. Let's start with Friday, shall we?
Friday was a busy day, filing and cleaning up cabnets for Lisa which took til Lunch, filing away some invoices and locating some lost ones, which took over a half hour, running errands for people, and then spending the rest of the day with Kelly and Sam, who were discussing a way to right a problem in the Made2Manage system regarding a section which wasn't reading the invoice information correctly. Everyone seemed in good moods for some odd reason.. I'm not sure what.
And now, here on Monday, there is already another tale to spin. It seems that Les' computer has gotten a virus, and tha said virus is trying to send out e-mails that Les hasn't wrote. I don't know the full extent of the damage so far, but I know that Pat is trying to fix it.
In the mean time, This weekend I got my hair cut. Everyone is kind of freaking out. Tracie woke up this morning and reached around my head to my neck and exclaimed, "You cut off your hair!" in which I replied, "Of course I did, where do you think it went?" She replied with, "I thought you had it in a ponytail..."
It's been an interesting morning so far... and I hope that this day only continues to get better!

Nymphetamine, song of life
Transitioning back into Walkabout is going smoothly, picking up where I left off, loosing the days to a blissful haze of confusion, running around like a chicken with it's head chopped off.... Everything feels like it's clicked into place...
I didn't think that today was Thursday, my mind had a fart and I thought that today was wednesday. So much for keeping track of things, eh? Anyways. I've been up to the usual lately, organizing invoices, matching invoices to their sales orders, filing them away, mailing things out, helping people file various different thing, and also cleaning out filing cabnets of old files.
Of course, I also take time off to come and write here, check my TGS e-mail every so often, and take a laugh with other people when thet play pranks on each other. Everything tht happens here is new, yet familiar at the same time. I don't really know what else to say about it....
Nothing else to say about anything...
Waking up, breaking out
This is what it's like to be free
Rip it up, tear it down
This is what it means to be free
