a few things i’ve learned this week:
1. with this job, i work until i’m finished. i'm supposed to get off work at 4:00, but i haven’t left at 4:00 once this week. i can’t just leave in the middle of a critical project. for example, on monday, i stayed late to make edits for the church newsletter that we sent to the printer today. (however, before we sent it to the printer, we had to send it out to staff yesterday so they could make any edits or corrections.)
2. i am a nerd. you should have seen my face when i realized how to use the textwrap, curning, and eyedropper tools in InDesign. let’s just say i got VERY excited. (i think my boss was pretty amused…)
3. everybody does things differently. today, my boss noticed that i doubleclicked on a word to highlight it. she then made some comment on how it’s just so fascinating how everyone has their own little shortcuts that work for them. and… i don’t know… i just love being able to talk about shortcuts and program tools in everyday conversation. :) (i know. NERD.)
4. i hate “readability”! i can have fun with some of the titles and headings (in the brochures i’ve been working on), but apparently, the body of the text needs to be in times new roman or arial. and i just think they’re both so terribly boring. i understand the need for “readability” (obviously, ha)… but with 50-ish sweet fonts at my fingertips, i kinda hate being restricted to two plain, boring ones.
so far, the internship is going great. really. i’ll elaborate soon... :)
