Today was a really busy day for me my bro nd sam nd danta. welll first we started off by sweeping one area in industrial wich took about 30 mins it was really annoying. Then after that jessy called us because he needed our help to move some things aronud that took about 20 mins. after we finished moving things around we had to sweep this very messy room that was basically the hardest part of the morning. We just swept for the remaining of the morning buh atleast it was time consuming .

Excitement going into the weekend

This week end is a very special one as i get paid for 3wks. I have plans with my money already i've been anticipating this weekend for along time now and i can't believe its here. I've reach the half way mark of this program 3wks in and its been very fun. I did alot of work this week with Ms.Lucinda and it was alot of fun.

Third week - Thursday

Today was a slow start to the day. Even with donuts for breakfast we were all unenergetic this morning. But it was time to work anyways. Over at industrial we swept the floor and moved some more things around to save space. After we finished we went over to the next storage room to move things around and sweep up the floor again. The cleaning for this room was supposed to be done by the afternoon group but we finished it up anyways. I guess we were doing them a favor but I'm wondering what's in store for us this afternoon.

WORK TODAY

Toady at work i was helping JEN with checking her mail. then i was helping her find the bills that needed to be paid. so found all of them and checked htem off the list. then when i was done helping JEN i went to help ASHLEY. i helped ASHLEY find web designers. then i made a list of them and i was done with that. so thats when ASHLEY told me to go around and take pictures of the other employees to post on our blog.

400 dollars down the drain

Yesterday we were moving all the furniture in industrial to make more space and throw away old and damaged furniture. It was hard but it made time go by fast. There were some boxes, about ten of them that had adult diapers, or at least we thought they were diapers. They were actually some kind of absorbers that you would lay down on the beds of clients who wet their beds to soak up urine. But, you could use them for other things.

TODAY AT WORK

TODAY at work i finish helping ASHLEY with everything so theres not much for me to do right now.

yesterday

even though today was supposed to be hard ecause one of my supervisers was out sick last week it was pretty much the same. today i mad copies that people needed. i had to deliver a bunch of junk to bay 11 and dante helped me with that. i helped kara at the front desk and in the after noon i worked at the van clinic .i had to wash classes.

WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it's my third week at css and it's really good so far. the other day i got to play games with the clients and they like beat me at every game it was funny because i got mad. then i went outside and watch some of the clients play on the playground.today i was helping Ashley put names in the computer. thats about it.

......

Same as every other morning, I go to industrial check in with Matt and start checking vans. I checked a few vans thendrank some tea with Matt. My brother left with Samiul to go and organize the floor boards that we had taken out a few days ago. Later on they were vacuming the vans and the vacum smelled like some old vinegar.

Today was a very slow day first I went with sam dwn to the gym nd stacked the floor tiles in order. I did that for about an hour , it was really annoying because it felt like the tiles were tearing skin from my palms lol jk. Then we headed back to industrial were we just witnessed Matt spray brake fluid at this bee hive that was behind the left rear view mirror it was pretty funny. For the last 30 min we just kinda hung out in the garage because there was hardly anything to do !!!!!!!!!!

Third week - Wednesday

On Tuesday my schedule for the morning was changed so that I would be in industrial for the mornings from now on. Jesse gave Jurgen and I a task for the day. We had to go down to the gym storage room and put together the dance floor in squares of 2x2 pieces. After putting them together we had to stack them on the cart so they could be put together easily for an upcoming event. It was a little tough because the sides of the floor tiles were sharp but we finished the work quickly. Afterwards we helped Matt with van maitenance. One of the vans had a bee problem in the rearview mirror and Matt had to get rid of them by spraying brake fluid behind the mirror.

I'm learning something new about the clients every day. On Monday I learned (the hard way) that Ryan likes to make ropes out of plastic bags to chew on. While watching him at the playground, he ran out all the way to the front desk and ripped out a piece of someone's plastic bag. I thought he was going to the bathroom or something but he ended up doing something completely different. I was really confused about what was going on but Elmo explained to me that it's just what he does and there was no way I was getting the piece of plastic back from him. Ryan then twisted the piece of plastic into a rope and began chewing on it. You learn something new every day.

On Wednesday it was Gazette day, meaning the vans came in with all the Gazettes that CSS would deliver, and the clients would carry the newspapers out to the building to bag them individually. Someone told me that CSS delivers seventy percent of the Gazettes in the Gaithersburg area which amazes me. All the vanfuls of newspapers must add up to thousands in all. It never occurred to me that the Gazette that I get at my doorstep every Wednesday was being bagged and delivered by the clients at CSS.

TODAY AT WORK

TODAY AT WORK I WAS HELPING ASHLEY HIGHLIGHTING NAMES AND MAKING SURE ALL THE NAMES WERE THERE AND STUFF LIKE TAHT.

Third week - Monday

Last Thursday there was an all-staff meeting so during the lunch hour I helped serve lunch to all the staff members. My job was to set up the tables with all the food first, then serve pizzas to each person that went by. It wasn't all to difficult and in the end I even got a free lunch out of all the extra food that was left over. If there's ever going to be a staff meeting again I'd gladly volunteer to serve lunch again.

This morning was a little bit confusing because I had to walk to 3 different places to find a job. First I went to the school but I got sent to industrial to clean vans. They told me that I would be fine because the clients would clean the vans themselves so I got to watch Julian and Josh do some vacuuming. Afterward I went over to the office nearby the thrift store to see if there was anything I could do. Jessie brought me over to the thrift store where I looked through the clothing racks to make sure that each item had a tag. If an item didn't have a tag, I would take it off the rack and place it on the table so it could be tagged later. It took a good hour and a half to get through all the clothes so overall I'd say it was a good start to my week.

my day

My days as being and intern is pretty entertaining because clients and staff are friendly and helpful in many ways.
I play Bingo in the mornings with The Clients and staff.
then afterwards i go to industrial or do paperwork.

3rd Week at CSS

2weeks

I have two weeks woking in CSS and the experience has been really good♥♥♥ The frist days I felt uncomfortable because I never had related with people a little different to me I say a little different because they are like us, they feel like us and they love like us too♥♥♥ But they have some disease that makes them a little different from us♥♥♥ I like being here because I learned many new things that I will never forget♥♥♥

interesting day

I came home around 2 A.M. last night from playing soccer. I woke up and really felt like not coming into work. I managed to wake up but felt like going back to sleep. Me and my brother went to industrial like every other morning. It was Gazzette day so it was really busy for the both of us. We worked for about 2 hours then went to Matt's office to drink tea. We were talking for a bit then,, me and my brother left with Brittney.

I went with my brother to my car to eat our lunch. After we had finished, we both took a little nap. After lunch was over we went to the gym to play with the clients. everything was running smooth until one of the clients started to chase my brother around the gym and try to hit him with his hand full of snot. We then got introuble, or at least my brother did for running around.

today i was helping at the front desk by making copies delivering tothings to industrial such as clothes or plumbing equipment and then i went to lunch then washed a van

NEW EXPERIENCES

my day begin helping Smith School. This morning I help to Alex to make the coffee and "sell" to people to work here. was so fine because she can learn how to communicate with other people and integrate into society and I feet that is the goal of CSS ...my afternooons are diferfrent bacause I help to Chistinne to order paper of CSS patients ♥♥♥☻

Second week - Tuesday

This morning I got to file papers but it wasn't as bad as it seemed. First I had to order stacks of papers by chronological order, and then seperate each stack by client. After going through two huge stacks I had to take on another stack, even larger than the one before. It was a little intimidating to go through such a huge disorganized stack but I got through it, managing to get all the ABC forms and incident reports out of it. Now I had to sort them by client, then order them chronologically. I got through the A's and B's before time ran out. The afternoon people are going to be in for some fun.

Important Work

Today was very much like any other day but i got to do more work which was a plus. I got to move boxes that carry very important information about the company and all the clients.

work

today i was putting more papers in more folders.

the morning was a real slow morning my supervisor had an appointment so really didnt have much for me to do . I did deliver some boxes basically ran a couple of errings but tomorrow is gazette day so its gonna be really busy but im looking foward to it .

Second week - Monday

This morning we had to help clean up for International Night by moving all the tables and floorboards.

Now that the book sorting was over, I got to be a peer model for Kevin today. He helped clean up by moving the cart with all the floorboards into the back room. Afterwards we played air hockey and Pac-Man for a while. Later today I had a chance to watch Sam train a new person. I learned a lot about how to deal with the clients the right way. One of the clients, Alex, would keep getting seizures if we didn't tap her on the shoulder every once in a while or let her walk around. I thought it was really interesting how each client has a really specific way of being taken care of.

Afterwards I helped Sam make picture instructions for how to make a cupcake. Today's work so far seems great for what I'm able to do. I hope continue doing this for the next few weeks.

work at css

work at css is fun. today started off kind of slow because all i did was put names on a folder.

Today was the wrong day i wore flip flops because usually i do little things like filing papers or running errings but todat me and my brother had t o do heavy lifting of tables and chairs. We had to put everything back in place and that meant carrying tables and chairs out side of the building but yeah thats pretty much sooo far :)

Lifting

I was asked to help out in the gym as i was walking to industrial today in the morning. i was asked along with the other interns to fold and load the tables, and remove the floorboard from the gym floor. After i had finished with that assignment, i walked over to industrial with my brother to go and help unload the tables.

Me and my brother the went to Jessie. we walked back to the main building and into the storage room. We had to stack chairs and put them in the closet that is in the storage room. After we had stacked the chairs, Jessie told me and my brother to take four tables to this other building across the street. We made three trips to take those tables. Alot of walking and lifting this morning, would've wore shoes instead of sandals.

CSS

CSS is a great place to work; i really like working in the camp and helping Ms.Lucinda
