Okay, it's time to get the ball rolling.

Some miscommunication issues happened earlier today.

I am not allowed to telecommute anymore because it's actually a requirement of my program to work in an office for all hours. I wish my mentor had stated this before, then all of this misinterpretation would not occur and I would have come in this week.

I was originally going to meet next week with my mentor, but I suggested tomorrow now. Waiting for a response. I want to clear things up and work out these communication issues.

Things I will address:

- Document or letter addressing pay dates/pay roll, hours, pay and the position and employer.
- Hours of working, right now it's 10 - 6, but I have volunteer commitments on certain days and cannot fulfill this requirement, trying to work it out since it was approved before to work at home for a bit and then come in and leave early.. but I don't think that's going to work, so I am trying to see if a 35 hour work week would work instead.
- Schedule of meetings/follow-up: I need to find out what my mentor's schedule is like, as I expect they would follow-up when they say they will, but from the last few weeks, it has not been happening
- Expectations of the role, and of the learning process - Each month I have to fill out a progress report of what I learned, what could be improved and how my progress is... I definitely need to bring this up and let my mentor know that I would like training in this role, from someone with expertise or from training courses. I don't think my mentor can provide any of this for me... but perhaps I would still be allowed to research


I will call my mentor tomorrow morning to confirm the meeting tomorrow. This is so frustrating. I don't know why this internship is so stressful, it really shouldn't be.

I am applying for jobs as much as I can. I hope I can find something very soon, within the next two weeks would be ideal.

I need to be positive, though. I will find something for sure! No more stress!
