So my internship at the Health Department isn't going so well. I've never worked in public health before, yet all the people in charge seem to think I am totally competent to complete this project without any direction. How am I supposed to schedule meetings with administrators and providers when I'm not really sure what the chemical dependency

Daft Punk. :) It was good seeing you today briefly.

Ahhh... Daft Punk. Good call.

And yeah, it was good seeing you too. You look great!

Ask questions!

[thincomfort]

I have! At least, I'm trying to... Everyone's real busy there and when they're not in meetings, they're on the phone. But next week, I'm gonna be a question machine. I'm going to bug them with so many questions that they'll want to do the progect themselves.

That's the way it was when I started working for my current company...

They sent me on-site to work for another company, contracting CAD, before I even really knew what I was doing. They knew I was smart enough to figure it out and told me to "fake like you know what you're doing."

So I did. I'm not sure that can apply to you. :)

Madonna's new cd is really good to work out to, as is M83, !!!, Ladytron, The Arcade Fire has some good paced songs, The Fitness, Ratatat, The Avalanches, Chromeo, Fischerspooner, and Royksopp. Maybe some Menomena?

Also, not so much in the work out sense, but you might really like Sufjan Stevens, Heather Duby, and Carissa's Wierd.

Ahh, I completely spaced on The Fitness. Good call. Thanks! I'm set now.

Ah, I sympathize with the internship thing. I would probably hold on for dear life to the person there I felt most comfortable with until things start to make sense. There must be someone there who would be a sympathetic ear to you, who can also help you get your bearings.
