Another Monday, another editorial meeting. The lady from marketing visited our meeting to talk about Google Analytics, which is the coolest thing ever. It’s what they use to monitor the web activity on Diablo’s website, including what people click on, how long they spend on the website, how often they visit, and anything else you [...]

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 [...]

This week was shipping week. That means that by the end of the week the current issue being worked on is sent to the printers to print. That means articles all have to be fact checked, the art has to be turned in, and the layout completed. It is intense, so the office was in [...]

Of course, most of this week included Best of the East Bay fact checks. I found out about Zeppelin tours of the San Francisco Bay, which cost about $500 per person, per hour. I also tried to contact a cafe that only seems to be open during the evening. I’m not sure how they will [...]

Week #16- Back to Restaurant Listings…

I take it back. When I said that I would rather do Restaurant Listings instead of Napa Somona, it was LIES. I forgot how much I loathed Restaurant Listings. My week started when I switched shifts on Monday with another intern. I normally come in 9AM-1PM. She comes in from 1PM-5PM. And she’s in my [...]

(Sorry everyone. I’ve been fairly busy and didn’t have a chance to write up my weekly blogs, so I’m going to be doing a little catch up) After weeks of struggling with Napa Somona fact checks, crazy listings, and the blasted Map, I finally got my wish to go back to Diablo fact checks. YAY! [...]

I will be the happiest girl if I never, ever, ever have to work on fact checks, maps, and listings for Napa Sonoma again. On Monday, I was given my listings of attractions to work on and call some of the places that I still hadn’t got a hold of. And can I say, I [...]

Valentine’s Day Listings and Fact Checks

This is actually the first week I have had since working for Diablo where I did not write a blog for their website. Instead I worked on listings and fact checks. I was happy that I finally managed to get myself to work on Monday as I had been fearing another attack from my body [...]

Illness (again!) and Fashion

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. [...]

For this week (Jan 5th and 6th), everyone was back to work from the break so the office was buzzing with writing and people working hard. The February issue is finished and being sent to the printers by the end of the week, so there was a rush to finish everything for the issue. And [...]
