Today was the last day at Kellogg’s Cary Bakery. I quickly found the bakery to be like a new home, and I’m sad to say goodbye. The morning held only VBA coding for me: Gary’s new problem needed a solution, STAT. Thankfully enough, due to my prior project in the same file, I had the right skillset! Rick had a busy morning, being triple booked with meetings, which gave me ample time to work out a solution. The solution wasn’t pretty, but it got the job done. The best thing is: the solution I delivered stood up against HOURS of attempts to break it. Gary ended up being so thankful for the two solutions I provided that he treated me to lunch; we went to my favorite spot (Chipotle) and discussed, among other things: potential colleges, life advice, schooling advantages, the state of programming languages, and his future. Having exchanged contact information, I’m looking forward to furthering our newfound friendship. Furthermore, due to VBA coding supposedly being a lucrative field (as no one uses the language anymore), I’ll be looking to work as a coding contractor when I’m 18 (assuming everything goes to plan).
Initially I supposed to shadow Okey, Seth, or Nik today; however, there’s always time in the future for that. Instead, I solidified new friendships and furthered my connection with the people who defined my Kellogg’s experience: Rick, Gary, Bobby, and Donna (sadly, Cristie was out today). I Hope to see them in the future; until then, Be Safe! Take Action!
