Transfers & My Idiot Team Members

So I'm desperately trying to get transfered out of my department, or at least, off my current project. Why, you may ask...because they could have hired high schooler to do it - making it boring, tedious, and NOT challenging. Pretty much, the project entails calling every single one of Cats suppliers (there are over 12,000) on the phone, and updating thier shipping information in the database. Its like telemarketing, only you have to care if you get hung up on. Seriously....whats teh challenge in this? The hardest part I've found so far is tracking down the right person to talk to at each supplier site. I sit on hold A LOT. I talked to my supervisor about this and she pretty much told me that I should ride it out, consider it a learning experience, and that I'm lucky to be here and Cat is a good opportunity, no matter what I do. I disagree, but I couldnt really find a way to say that, since I was on the verge of tears. On a brighter note though, Trina, my roommate, talked to her boss about getting me transfered to her dept and he seemed interested, especially since he is missing an intern anyway. I also emailed him letting him know I was interested in moving, should a position be available. So, keep your fingers crossed for that one. If I do end up having to stay on this project, I've considered leaving at the begining of July, to go back to Houghton and take a class track A. I have 15 credits in the fall, and if I could feasibly drop that to 12, my life would be a whole lot easier. But seriously, do people quit internships? Especially at a company like Cat? I've never heard of it...I wonder how bad that would be, or if it would impact me all that much. I probably wont leave anyway, just because the money is great and I need it, but the thought has crossed my mind.

On another note, I am also not impressed with my two group members. They constantly show up late, leave early, procrastinate, waste time, and gossip. I think it reflects so poorly on the whole group, even though I'm not doing it. Today, for instance, they showed up HALF AN HOUR LATE because they were hung over from being at the bar watching the game last night. Then, they proceeded to put thier heads on thier desks and complain about being sick and not getting enough sleep. While they did this, I worked on my SMART goals, which are due a week from today. After I finished them....which took like 2 hours because I wanted to do a really good job, they coppied them, which pissed me off so bad I wanted to scream.

Anyway, right now I'm waiting for my laundry to dry, then going to RiverPlex to work out (Which is the most awesome gym I've ever been too!!!!), then I'll shower, pack, and go to bed, since I'm leaving at 6 am to drive to Oshkosh to go camping with Josh...which I can't wait for. Thank goodness I dont have to go to work on Monday...its only been a week and I dread going there. This can't be a good sign! Anyway, everybody have a great weekend, and be safe!
