And it’s only Wednesday

I am still alive, but barely.
I’m exaggerating a bit, but it is true that I am completely exhausted. The paper this week is definitely taking its toll on the staff. On the night of our very first issue, which seems like it was ages ago, our server was not communicating with the press at all. [...]

Only the beginning

The first day of Evergreen training is over and it’s on to day two. Day 1 included relatively few mishaps. The ones that stick out in my mind are the dozen donuts I forgot at the store as soon as I bought them and the fact that my computer has to be sent back to [...]

As if I wasn’t freaking out enough

Newspaper training begins tomorrow. I am trying to remain calm, but it isn’t easy when I keep having nightmares.
In my dream last night, I dreamed that it was time to head to the newsroom for training. For some reason I couldn’t take my car to the newsroom but had to ride a bike. And then [...]

Almost a story about the new provost

The new provost came in to check out the creamery today. He was escorted by the creamery manager. As I happened to be standing by the cheese case as they walked by, it fell to me to give the new provost his very first taste of Cougar Gold cheese.

Home Sweet Home

I thought two weeks of vacation back to back would be amazing. In actuality, I started to get stressed at the end of the second week because had been so long from my real life. I was in desperate need of a computer and the ability to do laundry. Now I am also quite [...]
