Departing Thoughts from Bobby, The Intern
This was an email that our phenomenal intern, Bobby Freeman, wrote to Erik and us on his last day of service at Salesby5. He was an amazing asset and we’d be fortunate to have him back. Bobbs, you are missed.
This summer has been an inspiration to me, and I feel like you and the rest of the Salesby5 team have helped me grow on so many levels. It is amazing the incredible cast of team members you have assembled, and I feel blessed to have been a part of it, even for only a summer. This summer I learned that work and fun can co-exist, and that you can actually be more productive because of it. It is difficult for me to explain to others, and for them to simply understand that I enjoyed working and going to work every day. I can’t remember a day in the office when I was counting the minutes until I could leave, but rather was so confused by how it was 6:30 and I was still in the office. It is an odd feeling to be packing my stuff up and realizing that I will no longer be working for Salesby5. While I know that graduate school is the next step for me, it doesn’t make it any easier to leave a great and dramatically different company.
My Last Week in the Office Thoughts:
- I never realized every shirt I own is a shade of blue, maybe I should test the waters.
- Everyone is so happy because they love what they are doing here, and so do I.
- Grad School is going to be really boring after this!
- How does Nan know all this stuff?
- Erik could sell an Eskimo a snow cone if he got him on a conference call.
- It’s 4:30 in the morning and I am downloading the new Viigo Beta 3.0.111 for my BlackBerry. Has my life become an RSS Feed?
- I’m really going to miss these guys
Thanks Bobby! You inspired us too! It’s amazing to see how much you can impact someone’s life over the course of only two months. Don’t be afraid to pull people in and let them become a part of your team, even if only for a short time. Remarkable people always leave a place better than they found it.
