Aloha fellow Clevelanders! It was so nice to spend Memorial Day Weekend in the sunny Hawaiian islands... wait... we weren't in the south-pacific? Cleveland, Ohio you say? Pssh, I don't believe you. We'll agree to disagree.
Wow, I really expected to lead with a better joke. I guess Hump Day is a dastardly humor-thief after all. Now that such a sorry comedic attempt is out of the way, I suppose I can start the epic two-day blog that I had not promised to you, but chose to produce anyway.
While Tuesday morning started with me missing the RTA at Green Road and having to speed down to Shaker Square (THE PIGS WILL NEVER CATCH ME), I really enjoyed my time at the office. I'd have to say that the workday itself was one of my favorites. At 10:30, I sat in on the the weekly team meeting, which is essentially a much more in-depth editorial meeting. I didn't mutter a single word during the assembly, but it was still fun to observe the back and forth banter that occurred.
The day really got going when Brian spent some time with me and we went over pretty much everything regarding the magazine's layout and production. I learned a ton of cool information about things ranging from what type of stock is used during print to which advertisements are the most expensive and why. It was probably the most informative meeting yet.
Tuesday ended with me researching which university's have the most expensive and lavish training facilities per the request of a coworker. As a pseudo intern, I receive some tedious grunt work, but I actually enjoy it most of the time.
On to Wednesday. Here are the highlights: I aided the nutrition editor some Macro counting, which is essentially just tracking down the fats, proteins, and carbs in a variety of different foods. The legend himself, Mr. Breisch, visited and reunited with an old student who doubles as an intern at STACK. And lastly, I left the office for the first time during project and witnessed a photoshoot firsthand. It was a pretty cool day.
