My Payas Internship Experience | By Jackson Torbert

2019-09-03T18:58:22-07:00August 12th, 2019|Categories: Office News|Tags: , , |

My Payas internship experience far exceeded my expectations for this summer. I thought I was going to sit at a copier all day, scan things in, and leave. As I quickly learned, that is not at all what I would do. Arriving the first day and immediately being thrown into the fire with reception for a week was a little overwhelming, but looking back, it was a great way to get comfortable in the office and learn a useful skill. Following that, my time in Department 16 was very eye-opening and educational. I learned so much, not just about the law, but how to work in an office environment. I met so many amazing people that were so helpful (and patient) when it came to teaching me new things to do. They were [...]

Are you paying full attention to the road every time that you drive? When it comes to being on the road and being distracted, the state of Florida is attempting to do something about it, although there are obstacles. Florida stopped a texting while driving bill from going through recently that would've dealt with texting while driving, changing it over from secondary status over to 'primary offense' instead. Stopping it was mainly motivated by concerns over whether it would inadvertently make profiling based on race even more possible thanks to it giving a seemingly valid reason for cops to pull over people even if they didn't commit a traffic infraction. This is an admirable thing to do, and it illustrates precisely why legislation regarding a variety of topics can be so complicated. However, [...]

In many states, texting while you are operating a motor vehicle is not only illegal but a crime too. Even though there are rules set in place warning against it, using a phone or texting while driving is something that many people still choose to do, regardless of the risk.
