As a Deproduction/DOM intern, there will be times when your supervisor doesn't have time to put together an assignment for you. When that happens, you can (and should) view these task lists to find work you can do to remain productive. There is ALWAYS something we need you to do, in your own department or another department, even if we don't have time to tell you what it is.
