I'm Pooped
Ok, so this is the end of the week, and I am tired. This town still hasn't grown on me. It's one of the least racially diverse/accepting towns that I've ever been in, and frankly I'm just not feeling that. All of the people that I work with are extremely nice and friendly though so it's kind of a weird balance. The newsroom is nice. I like the buzz of people interviewing on the phone, and the click of people doing work (supposedly...they could be blogging like me...) I don't sit at the business desk, but I don't mind it...by the way, if I'm repeating myself, please excuse me, I'm typing with a fuzzy brain. I finally got on top of all of the work I've had to do. They've kept me busy for sure, so that's pretty cool. No earnings stories or anything like that, but a lot of local stuff.
The other interns and I actually don't interact much. Well for one, three of them just got here on Monday...I've been here since Memorial Day, so I'm old news...but that's cool too. Then one of them does online from 8-12, and you best believe this girl is out of here no later than 7 (I work 9-6), so I've actually never met her. Maybe one day I'll hang around late so I can meet her, but 8 is pretty damn late, and def. past my feeding time...so we'll see.
The city is trying to grow it's nightlife, but it's a long way off, so I spend a lot of time reading and sleeping...and shopping (it's a sickness, really it is). Like Vincent I miss my newsroom, and my city. I'm a little ready for school to start (I could very well be the only who feels that way, but twhatever...) Tahoe is absolutely beautiful, I'm definately feeling that, but I miss being around people my age. Practically everyone in the newsroom is older, married with a family, so it's great because many people have offered to like be my surrogate family for the summer, but I want to go out every once in a while. I miss my friends. I'm not exactly homesick, because I'm definately feeling the alone time and whatnot, but I miss interaction with my peers.
The newsroom is really really laid back. Two people wear ties and button down shirts, everyone else is in jeans and flip-flops or birks EVERYDAY (yeah, including some of the editors and upper-levelers), but it's cool because it's still a professional environment and people get the work done, so I'm feeling that. It's hard not to get sucked into that (I'm in jeans right now, but it's cool cuz it's Friday suckas), but I still try to remain business casual (gotta be that one step up ya know??). They like to feed me here. I'm always getting free lunch, and my newsroom has a thing for rootbeer floats like every other day for real, so I'm definately feeling that.
I also like that my paper has a gym above the newsroom, cuz with all that food and cake (people have been retiring and getting pregnant and stuff like that), and ice cream it's easy to get a little bit "soggy" ya know?? Anyway, I'm sorry if this blog isn't really about business or stories or writing or being a professional....my head hurts and I just wanted to talk you people for a minute. Holler homies~~
