The Final Stretch

Hi all,

I cant believe 10 months have passed. A part of me feels like I have learnt alot and another part feels like there is still lots to discover and I'm running out of time. Sure you cant always exerpience everything in a year but the thought stills scares me. I was in a bit of a slump last week and was under-performing. After the MIP project in Elgin-it seemed I knew nothing about autocad. I had a slow start to the week-Mr Bossman gave me a talking too and I eventually recovered (so I think). Small projects keep rolling in, aside from the mola. What erks me is when clients rush you and demand drawings, you pull your hair out for them but they dont return the favour. So in this field or any other for that matter-ruthlessness has to come to the party- to get what you are worth. I am familiar with the admin work, council submissions and forms etc, but for future encounters I definitely need to brush up on my people skills- not that I lack any- but to establish good clientel and to have a profitable business mind.

I have a month left of my intenship-I plan to soak it all in and absorb as much as I can.

Here's to the final stretch!
