Day 5: Papercuts and Countertops

Today, Grace and I switched to our new location of interning for the second week- CRS Marble and Granite. The day was pretty laid back, and we arrived at about 10 o’clock. First, we toured the showroom and the warehouse, and looked at the different colors and cuts of granite that the company wholesales. Essentially, CRS is like the middle-man between the rock quarries and the countertops in houses and buildings. They sell directly to fabricators, who are the companies that actually install granite slabs to customers’ homes. Our first task of the day was matching financial statements to receipts. Since there are many different locations and trucks that all transport granite, the owners need to make sure that all credit cards the company owns are accounted for. Next, we filed invoices in huge binders that are way too heavy to carry around! As our last activity before lunch, we filed Delivery Orders and Purchase Orders by month. Then, Grace and I went to lunch at Brier Creek, and enjoyed a quick meal at Noodles & Co. After coming back, we were given the monstrous job of organizing Delivery Orders into numerical order, as well as noting if any orders were missing or wrong. The job took us about 1.5 hours to complete, and our fingers were definitely burning after sifting through all that paper!image1Two of the huge binders that we had to organize today!
