I had given Diablo a fond farewell my last week while walking out of those doors, thinking for sure that I had seen the Diablo offices for the last time. But to my surprise, I got an e-mail from the Managing Editor, LeeAnn, who offered me a chance to come back one last time. While [...]

Ethan e-mailed me after my shift on Thursday to see when I what times I would be available. Since the new summer intern started, she took my time slot so there was no more time slots for me. Ethan politely suggested that I could stay on Monday afternoons from 1-5 (the only time slot available) [...]

I ended up calling in Monday morning. I hadn’t slept very well the night before, and I had been driving on a low tire for four days going back and forth to Best Buy over the weekend. And since I had work that evening, I figured I should fix it before I did anymore driving [...]

On Monday, I requested the day off. I had a major final for Tuesday afternoon and wanted the morning to rest up and relax before my final. (I planned to do some studying, but I did most of my studying on Tuesday instead). When I came in on Wednesday, I was handed some Best of [...]

I woke up on Monday, after a very long weekend, with a pounding headache right behind my eye. Since my track record with migraines has not been very good lately, I took an Advil and called in sick Monday morning. I hated doing it considering that I had done such a great job the week [...]

I missed my first shift on Monday, because I went out of town for a funeral. Luckily, I had mentioned to Ethan on Wednesday how I was still debating on if I was going or not. I had decided I wouldn’t be going by Friday, but at the last minute I got Sunday off work [...]

My week was not off to a good start, again. Apparently Sunday nights aren’t a good night for me, because I spent an hour (2-3 AM) getting rid of the contents of my stomach. It wasn’t nearly as bad as last week, although this illness included a nasty migraine that throbbed right behind my eye. [...]

My week did not start off as well as I would have hoped. I ended up with the stomach flu from hell on Sunday night, emptying my digestive system completely between 3-4:30 early Sunday morning. Consequently, I did not go to my internship Monday morning and decided to stay home to rest up and take [...]

I failed as an intern this past week. Saturday night (the 10th) I started feeling really awful, but still went to work for my Sunday shift. (because my Best Buy job pays me, they’ve cut my hours, and I need money= a horrible combination). I should have called in sick for my Sunday shift because [...]
