Monday, April 10

Monday was a day filled with hustle and bustle. First of all, I was "violated" on the train and that kind of made me mad all day, but at work I had letters to write, descriptions to write, pictures to get, emails to reply, and a very special delivery to make.

At around 12:45, Kristen came to my cubicle and had a special project for me to get to. My job was to take a beta video to a video company to get remade into mpeg format. No problem. THEN, I had to get the video to a guy with the Chicago Sun-Times newspaper by 2:15. I had to quick get on this because we knew it would take at least 25 minutes for the movie to be finished. I took the train to the video place, and enjoyed the sun as I waited for them to finish. I got out of there at around 2, and had only 15 minutes to get to the Times headquarters!

I quick caught a cab (just like in the movies!) and rushed over to the Chicago Sun Times to make the delivery! I went through security and talked on the phone to the reporter before giving him the cd, but I made the delivery with a couple of minutes to spare. I walked the mile back to the office in the beautiful sunny weather and then worked on the letters and stuff the rest of the afternoon. Not just an ordinary day for me!

That night I went to Solheim to work out in the stuffy weight room there and run on the rubber-over-concrete flooring that they have there. Reminds me of my high school gym floor! I'd much rather run outside, but when it's dark, it's my best option.
I did run past a movie set to get to Solheim. There were fire trucks and police cars so I just thought it was a fire alarm or something like that, but when I got to the gym, Becca mentioned that it was a movie set! Sweet!
