Spring Break Friday (3-12)

Considering I was out of town the Saturday of Spring Break (3-12) I will fill you in on some stuff I did on that Friday.

Because the music festival is getting close, NAC is busy, busy, busy. I am preparing for the volunteer work Shagah is having me do while also finishing up on Rick's grants for the festival. It took us at least 4 hours to finish up on the four grants Rick is sending into the Norman district of arts for the festival. I basically did busy work. That is, copies, dividers, and researching bands information to put into these grants. I'm not going to lie, I really didn't know what a grant was and the purpose of it until I had to stock all of them. It was a lot of busy work that was a little overwhelming just because of how thick the binder ended up being. There was information about the past music festivals, the bands, the line-up...etc. I actually learned a lot about the past music festivals, making it a little easier to know what to expect for this year. I went to the festival last year and it was a blast, but of course I wasn't informed as well as now as to what is the purpose of the festival and what makes it so special.

So the grants were fun...ha, but I did get to be a "secretary" for the entire day. I was there from 9-5...long, long, long day. We all got to have lunch together at In the Raw, it was a good bonding experience. Rick had a lot on his plate for that day, so some good sushi was needed. We ended up having to go back to work after we ate, which was entirely too hard considering how much we all were waiting by the minute for Spring Break. We were all so tired because once we got back we all realized we were missing a lot of information for the grants. I had to finish up Rick's resume, band information, and just the history of NAC. All together an informative experience.

My hours ended up being from that week: Wednesday 9-10, Thurdsday 8 PM-11 PM and Friday 9-5.

For this week (3-22/3-26) I am the only one in the office right now. Rick's out of town this Monday while Josh, the grad student who works here, is not here either. I am thinking we have to research and watch the music festival's band DVDs. There's a lot on Shagah's desk...like five already and it's only Monday. We're also having a logo contest for the NAC. This has nothing to do with what we are doing as NAC staff, but we all need a little laugh in the office so Matt decided to make-up this contest. We have to create "NAC" into an edible logo made out of anything. I've heard people are doing jello, macaroni.... you name it. So this should be a fun week. The logos are due next Monday. Fun! Fun! Fun!

Well until next time...
