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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

My work for this week was all listings. A very long list of attractions, museums, historical areas of interest, and theaters all for the Napa Sonoma Magazine. I think he had intended the job for one of the other interns, who works for the magazine all day on Friday, but apparently she called in sick. [...]

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 [...]
