First, thanks for caring and taking your job seriously even though you are an "intern". You are already miles ahead of many people who couldn't care less. You will do great in your career with this attitude
Now, may be it will go smooth, may be it won't. Either way, it won't be your fault because you are an intern and the worst they can do is to fire you which is not so bad even though you may think that it is. Best, your boss probably has done this before and knows that its no biggie. If shit hits the fan, other people will get involved.
In case that you are the one "Responsible", use that as an opportunity to shine and show it to senior management. If things go bad, tell management "This is a great learning experience for me as an intern". When people find out that you are an inter, expectations will change.
One lesson learned for you: When your boss leaves something in your "capable" hands, ask these questions BEFORE they leave. Make sure you understand what's expected of you especially if things go wrong (they usually do with major updates).
You will do fine.
- dbtonez 4y agoi think what is most important to me at the end of the day is knowing i put in the time and effort to do a good job, no matter what it is. i am old enough now to have experience in all sorts of things. i was a construction estimator, a retail store manager, a property manager/maintenance man... about a year and a half ago i decided that i wanted to follow my passion and that lied in the world of computing. i know i am just an intern, but to me when you accept responsibility you do all you can to do a good job. regardless of the tools or information you aren't given. i may not know anything right now, but i will know something eventually. thanks for your kind words. i WILL be fine.
