Newspapers Are Neat

I’m currently at home for my lunch break and thought I’d try to get a blog post in.

I’m on the last day of my first week of being the receptionist at Tumbler Ridge News. My first 2 days were pretty nerve wracking, but I got into the groove of things pretty quickly after that. Now I’m more or less comfortable, though I still ask a tonne of questions and know I have quite a bit to learn, especially since a newspaper setting is 100% new to me. It’s exciting though!! Today(Friday) is the deadline to get the layout for the paper finalized, and since the printer was down the last couple of days(we got it to work this morning!) things are pretty crazy, though I’m told it’s very much the norm. It’s nice to be out of the house, working in a fast paced office where there’s always something new and interesting to be heard.

Verdict: An awesome job that I’m incredibly glad I held out for(to think…I was close to caving in an applying at the grocery store >.<).
