Monday and Tuesday April 3, 4






My Cubicle at work

Back in high school, when that good old wireless internet was knocked off it's satellite line and we didn't have internet, it wasn't such a huge deal. All we needed those computers for was keyboarding class and typing out reports/essays.
I realized on Monday that my job almost totally depends on the internet, and what do I do at work without the internet?!? No emails can be sent, no online programs, no extranet, etc. It was like we were cut off from the rest of the world.

I did have something to do all morning. I finished up my media kits and had those sent out to the various publications that could run our new Angel of Change campaign. The media kit included a press release, tv and radio PSAs, information on how to be an Angel of Change, and feathers--just to be cute.
We hope we get a lot of press coverage for this campaign. I put in a lot of work on those kits, but they were good!

Kristen was out on Monday and Tuesday, so I did mainly filing on an internet program and editing the submissions we get for the "Tell us about your Angel" and putting them online. Lots of editing on Monday since the internet was out until about 3pm.

Monday night I don't remember what I did. Probably work out at Solheim. And I probably sweat a lot since that place is so warm and sticky. There's a pool there and it creates SO MUCH humidity everywhere. It's hard to run in the weight room because the ceiling is so low, too. Oh well, it's better than having to run in the rain!
