Power of an Intern

I finished my draft of the V&V Test Plan last Monday and Tim gave me a huge, intimidating book on “Introduction to High Speed PCB design” because I told him I was bored. Haha, most of you all would think I’m stupid for asking it but I actually like it! I hate doing nothing and unproductive (I’m not going to spend most of my time in the office to surf internet and play Facebook all day) so having something to do even reading a huge book is cool to me. Actually, the book is really interesting; it touches on how to implement high speed transmission without distortion in PCB design. Something like Digital Integrated Circuit subject I took last trimester.

Anyway, today Tim came over and we went through my plan and made a second draft for review with the other senior engineers. This is where I get nervous; I get to organize a meeting to discuss on the test plan that I made with other senior engineers so I had to invite them to go for my meeting! I never thought an intern could do this! An intern calling a meeting with other senior engineers to discuss something… I mean, since when we interns are even important enough to call other big shot engineers for a meeting?? Wow! I had to reread my email invitation and even asked Hon Mun to check to make sure I don’t sound rude for an intern. I used Lotus Calendar to set up a time (the software checks which time is free for all invitees) and place available. It’s so easy to do it.
