Good and Bad of Cheese

The best job I ever had was working in Quality Control, while the worst job I ever had is a draw between working at Wendy’s.

Quality Control-

Some of the primary responsibilities working in quality control were being detail orientated, data entry, and editing images and text.

What made the job enjoyable was the pay of course, but also just working with cool people. My day consisted of 5 hour energy drinks, water, chewy bars, good music, and great laughter.

I developed the ability to type at an exceptionable speed, being somewhat detail orientated, and computer experience are very robust to take with me to internship.

I learned that you can work hard and play hard during work, but I also learned that I can sit in front of a computer all day if I had to.

Wendy’s-

Some of the primary responsibilities working in foods were cleaning the grill, counter, tables, and floors.

The rude customers and lack of respect made this type of work experience very hard to enjoy work.

Skills that I will take with me from this job and bring over to internship are being a team player and being 

able to interact with different kinds of people with different kinds of moods.

Some lessons I will never forget, are to know when to listen to reason and when to use your voice for reason and to deliver those words very lucidly.

Rest In Paradise "Freakonomics"

Now that the reading assignment is finished, I would recommend “Freakonomics” to my cousin. I would recommend this book to her because she likes finding things out through statistics and numbers especially things that she would have never thought about looking over.

I would like to share a passage from the book that left a good impression on me that I used in an assignment in class.
 “He also reportedly told a college audience that 45 homeless people die each second-which would mean a whopping 1.4 billion dead homeless every year.” Page 86
This passage has made me question myself. I have never given thought to homeless people other than spare change in my pocket. Now this entry made me think of how many different homeless people I’ve seen over the years, and how there are so many out there. Something that will, probably never leave my thoughts again.

I believe that chapter 3 “Why Do Drug Dealers Still Live With Their Moms?” in “Freakonomics” was a good chapter in the group discussion because we could all fantasize on becoming as rich as J. T was. Everyone had an opinion about the main point in the book and because we all agreed that we have known drug dealers who did live with their mothers and also agreed upon how smart J. T and his business decisions were and how amazed we were on how he got to the top with being educated and using that education to sell drugs and invest as well.

Reading Process And How To Get Through It

As an exuberant reader, I found the process of reading very entertaining. The only thing about the process I am not too fond of is the reading material itself. 

Steven D. Levity
&
Stephen J. Dubner

The book “Freakonomics” By Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, which we are reading in class, have ideas that bounce everywhere that makes summaries even harder.

Reading the chapter multiple times would help put a better understanding in my mind along with asking myself certain questions about the chapter and of course reading the chapter little by little instead of all at once.

During my reading time, annotating each paragraph with a summary made things a bit easier with the help of underlining words that was new to me and listing key points in the chapter.

Keeping up with the assigned chapters is easy if you set an amount of pages to read before Friday. Being Moderator you would have to sacrifice a weekend in order to comprehend what you have read before Wednesday.

I would read waiting for Bart, on Bart, in the kitchen and in my room, all was done during different times of the day, which were after school, during a meal and before bed. All of these sessions took no more than a couple hours per session.
