Minion

Today I took control over one of the lesser interns and gave him work. I got myself a minion! And I came to think of this because his name is pronounced very much like that although he spells it differently.

It was mot the first time I thought to myself that this that I do now is intern-work. That has happened several times before and then I came to think about that I am an intern too, just a bit more. But this time I thought it was both good to spread my workload as well as having me concentrating on the hard parts of the task. And both the CD and the traffic agreed as well as the person in charge of the intern for the day.

I really tried to explain what we where working on. I showed the assets and talked about the end product as well as showed the animations I had done and explained the code I had written. Still I did not nail it. I did not make my self clear and I did not make him see the vision. This is something that I will have to work on, it is either that or lowering my expectations. And that does not suffice in this environment. So the stuff that he gave me after one correction just would not do. And at that time it was way past bedtime for an unpaid intern. So a paid one could see everything getting pushed back tomorrow. So I ended redoing everything that he had done. And I felt shitty about it. Not that I had to work more; I had planned to go fencing but I had more or less already missed that timeslot and it has been a fun project. The working was fine. But the fact that I was a bad instructor even though I have been teaching for 9 years and that he will se that what he did was not used. He will probably feel a bit bad about it. Ok so I promise myself that I shall give him feedback about what was wrong with the stuff tomorrow. That will be the good part of this. I also got a feeling that he was really looking forward to animate some stuff. Maybe he can get some work on some banners...
