Well It's True, I Hate Math

Wingteam
Ok so here's the thing... I always joke with people when they ask me if I enjoy math, I'll usually respond: "You know, I'm more of a shapes and colors type of guy." They'll chuckle and I'll try to change the topic as quickly as possible. As mentioned in my other blog post, It takes a certain type of person with a certain type of personality for the tourism industry. More specifically speaking, the MICE segment of tourism. I had the opportunity to work Wednesday to Monday with a lead from Deloitte at the Scottsdale Conference Center and Resort. It was an impressive sight to see as I mimicked the work ethic of a professional with 20+ experience in the field. Here I am, a young hot shot thinking he's too cool and can handle anything that is thrown at him, well young child, guess again. This particular person had a knack for organizing and executing different plans and layouts to make everything more efficient. Now, as for myself, I am a neat freak. I enjoy having things a certain way, a certain distance apart... So on and so fourth. Having said that, he was the exact same way so when It came down to organizing welcome packets, distributing materials, or any other task I had, we tended to headbutt a little bit but It could have been worse. One of the main reasons why I feel so comfortable in this particular internship is the variety of like-minded people I am privileged to work with. We are all shapes and color type of personalities. I feel that were the type growing up that decided to take things apart for no particular reason, stacked crayola markers on top of each other for no particular reason until it collapsed. Oh well, were a different breed, but I love it!
