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) [...]

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 [...]

It was weird going back to Diablo Magazine after graduation weekend, but I was happy to have the opportunity. On Monday, it was Memorial Day and Ethan didn’t tell me if Diablo was open or not. Playing it safe, I woke up Monday morning and went to Diablo. (ended up taking a wrong turn because [...]

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 have to say that this was a good week for me as an intern. I currently have two blogs up that came out really well and worked on plenty of fact checks. I’m not sure why, but for some reason I was really on task this week. I hope I’m able to keep it [...]

(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! [...]

This week seemed like it was the first week in awhile where I was able to work my full eight hours since three day weekends and funerals have gotten in the way of my Mondays. Although there wasn’t very much for me to do. The April fact checks for Diablo have been pushed through since [...]

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 [...]

I love having my shift on Mondays because of editorial meetings I get to sit in on. But I also hate Mondays because there’s more of a chance for a three day weekend, which is great but also sucks at the same time. I like the work I do at the magazine and I’m always [...]

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 [...]
