Today was, I guess, my first official day of work. Monday was more of an orientation; get to know everyone and not acting too awkward. Today I worked on incentives for each energy company. There are thousands of energy companies across the United States, many of which offer rebates or incentives for purchasing energy star or energy efficient home products. Some offers range from 50 to 400 dollars depending on the purchase. Many people are unaware of these opportunities.
I did this pretty much all day, and sat in the park for lunch and enjoyed the relaxation. We got out of work early today which was nice.
I drank about 80-oz. of water today, I feel like a camel - mainly because there are seven people in a tiny office and it gets warm. I am also writing a weekly scientific report for our website (www.earthaid.net). This week is a prelude into the hot summers here in DC. I will be discussing smog and the urban heat island effect. I will make sure to post it on here for my active readers to enjoy.
It is nice bringing my Mac to work with me; I do work while listening to music with my headphones on. The other interns sit and work in the quiet. I kind of feel sorry for them…
I am a SAL of the American Legion. When I got off work, I walked to the American Legion which is located a block from my office and enjoyed the senior company. I was informed upon entering that specific building that it is only offices, and not a bar/restaurant , but I did get the address to the closest one near my apartment complex!
Being thrifty is in style!
