There were a lot of meetings this morning, so I was kind of on my own. I spent most of the time writing and working on my presentation for tomorrow. I also spent quite a bit of time talking with some of the financial people again in a more informal setting. It was nice to see them a bit more relaxed outside of their normal “work” setting.
This afternoon, I took everyone in the office to lunch as a thank you for the past two weeks. Each of them was incredibly kind and helpful to me and I wanted to pay them back for that. Though lunch was a small gesture, it was nice to get everybody together one last time. I also had never been with everyone in the office at once, so it was cool getting to talk to each of them outside of the work environment. The food was fantastic and it was a good bonding opportunity both for me and for them with each other. They’ve had several new employees who have come in in the past couple months, and it was a good chance for them to really get to know the other employees better.
The second part of the afternoon, I went around to the different locations again with the office manager. I really enjoyed going around last week so I was happy to do it again.
I finished the day by speaking with Shawn West, the head of the office. We talked all about his business model and how he got into this profession, and it was a nice way to end the experience.
I had a fantastic two weeks over here at RMA. Everybody here is so incredibly kind and above all, good at their jobs. I will definitely remember this experience for a long time. I’m sad to see it end!
