Personal Narrative: A Day At The Workplace
This week reminded me how amazing and important my job is. Friday was a busy day at the office; I was rushing to finish my work so I could leave on time. As I was about to leave I received a phone call from a hiring manager (Mark) with NOAA. Mark had questions about the interview process and was calling to speak to one of my colleagues. Unfortunately, my colleague was on vacation and wouldn’t be back for another week. I looked at the clock and realized it was time to go but I could hear the frustration in Mark’s voice. Instead of leaving, I spent almost an hour listening to Mark’s concerns, answering his questions, and I explained how the federal hiring process works. At the end of our conversation, Mark thanked me for my time and he told me

    My stomach was in knots the night before my first ever interview as I contemplated what I had to offer with little experience outside of babysitting and raking leaves. Although I landed the opportunity, I found myself full of hesitation the night before beginning my serving assistant job. My family taunted me by referring to my new job as the Assistant to the Assistant Server referring to the T. V. show “The Office”. In the end, the teasing helped diffuse my nervousness.…

    Today, I got the opportunity to switch up my schedule a bit and work maintenance at Tettegouche State Park. I started my shift by meeting at the maintenance shop to get briefed on my daily tasks. Today I was tasked with mowing the grass at Eckbeck and Finland State Forest Campgrounds. It was actually one of the first days I got the opportunity to work with the other operations intern Jena Murray. So, we loaded up the equipment needed and headed out to begin mowing Finland State Forest Campground. It took us until about 11:00am to finish mowing Finland, so we then took an early lunch and headed off to Eckbeck. We finished mowing Eckbeck State Forest Campground around 4:00pm where we then headed back to Tettegouche. Upon our arrival at the maintenance…

    A few months ago, we had a few projects going on at my job to help improve our work process. The process we had in place was perfectly fine throughout most of the year. However, during November and December we have a higher volume of work that our current work process was not well suited for.

With my knowledge of our regular process, I was also allowed to point out what would not work and I was given permission to make necessary changes for the project.…

    Hannah Jones is my third interviewee and she is an immigration caseworker. She welcomes me into her office. Her office is very stuffy, and clients’ files are sprawled all over her desk. The curtains are partly drawn, allowing only a bit of light into the tiny room. She is however very presentable; hair pulled back into a ponytail. She starts tapping her fingers on the table as soon as we get seated, and I start my interview right away. “How long have you worked in the immigration department. Are there are any problems that you have encountered in your office?” She leans back in her tiny seat, and she is quiet for about a minute. “I have worked in my cramped up office, as you can see, for nearly a decade." It takes me by shock as she does not…

    Vacated red-bricked buildings with innocent children sitting at the steps, a passed out man sprawling on the sidewalk, loud Spanish music blasted from a community center, a revolting smell from all the garbage in the sidewalk, people screaming for help, blue lights and a cacophony of sirens—this was my new workplace.…

    Nine am. Cool July morning. Then, the screaming. Over the summer I worked at a special needs camp in a pre-k inclusion classroom, and one of the neurotypical peers was a four year old boy with bright blue eyes, a warm laugh, and defiant, aggressive attitude. Anytime this little boy would be asked to do anything, whether it be transition activities or put on his shoes, a full blown meltdown would ensue. The meltdown would not only be disruptive, but potentially harmful to the others since the intense screaming and kicking could cause a sensory overload. The other staff would try different methods of discipline, that would, at the most, last 10 minutes. Then one morning, I was assigned to him.…
