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 [...]

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 [...]

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 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 [...]

On Monday, I was happy to see Ethan back at the working place and subtly told him that I missed him not being there last week. It’s just not as fun. First, he had me work on e-mails for the people and sources in our May issue, so now I am very familiar with everything [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]
