Week 4: Day 1

My fourth week working at the Bureau of Economic Analysis was my most productive so far. My Monday began with a meeting with my supervisor, Meridel. Meridel apologized profusely for not being able to see much of us the week before. When we told her about how much work we had completed, she thanked us for being such productive interns. During the course of our conversation, Meridel explained to us that she forgot to document the Printing Process in Project 72 in our last meeting. We concluded our morning meeting by scheduling a morning meeting for the next day to discuss the process. After our morning meeting, my teammates and I succeeded in completing the maps for Status of Funds and Separation Clearance. The Separation Clearance Process, which I neglected to mention in my previous journal entries, is the process used to document the termination and retirement of employees. We have been slowly working on it ever since our Visio training with Meridel. It did not require any extensive interviews. We sent the e-mails out to their respective owners, Meridel and Gary, with a sense of satisfaction.
