Project REAL Log: Day 9 (The End)

Since today is my last day at Questex, everyone in the office finally realized that they won’t get any more free work out of me after this week.  So I’ve had plenty to do today.

I did two voice-overs for videos to go on PMPtv, edited a column for myPMP.net and an article for Landscape Management, and sifted through nearly a hundred comments regarding a survey on the state of the landscaping industry.  I also ate lunch.

Now that my “REAL” life experience is almost over, I think I can sum up what I’ve learned over the past two weeks:

1.  A dot whack is just a sticker with a very entertaining name.

2. Meeting length is not necessarily directly proportional to meeting boring-ness.

3. Don’t order business cards until you are reasonably sure you will have the position for a while.

But seriously, Questex showed me a pretty good time.  Office work isn’t totally boring, and a professional environment can still be relaxed and comfortable.

And a lot of work goes into trade magazines.  Even when they’re about bugs.
