On my second day, the planned schedule was similar in structure to the first, another day in the office learning the ins and outs of a department, this time with the Planning and Environmental department. I got to spend time with many interesting people once again who loved their job and were fully willing and excited to share information about what they do daily. I once again couldn’t help but be interested in everything they said and what they showed me, and I was allowed and encouraged to ask questions that enhanced the conversations we had. I got to look in on very interesting projects that their team had been working on for years, as well as projects they were just starting. I learned about how the information I had learned in the Transportation Department the day before linked up with and connected to what occurs in the Planning and Environmental Department. I went out to lunch on our lunch break with some of the people I met that day and had a great time talking with them and connecting over college talk, as they had just recently graduated. I had another great day at the office and I am very excited to get to go off-site tomorrow and the next day for some field measurements and calculations.
