Nov. 9, 2011

We have a theme for the yearbook!!! I am so happy I could dance! After some brainstorming some we are going to do a scrapbook theme. After the meeting I started in on Dion's training for photo-editing. Of course I've got all the photos caught up right now. He's going to be my photo-editor next year.  I think that since Austen is going to be a senior that it would be good if TJ got some training for next year as a video-editor.  I need to start looking at Lizzi and Mishka's stuff too. I've been doing a lot of business stuff for Interlachen.

For Wellness TV I am in charge of the dip/chewing tobacco package. I'm going to see if I can interview a nurse. Nadine's going to be working with me.  The thing is... b-roll. I never see people with spit bottles or anything.  I am going to have to creep a lot.

Nov. 1, 2011

I know I haven't posted in like two weeks so I'm not even going to count those hours.  I have had so much on my plate with Interlachen that I don't think I can commit to much else.  I have been doing three jobs and there never seems like enough time.  With the new check out system it makes it even more stressful.

Unfortunately I have yelled at the editor in chief a few times now and I have taken on her job because it's not getting done.  That has made no time for anything else.  I did catch up on the pictures today though, only took 3 hours.  I also had to email people back because, as it turns out, my editor didn't tell me she had scheduled them so I am now pleading with the departments to forgive us. I hate Interlachen having a bad reputation.

Things are going to change.  I am going to start training Dion so I don't have to worry about pictures as much.  Also I am going to start talking to the other editors and seeing if they will want the positions next year.  If not I want them to start training new people. I have big plans that I am going to start doing.
