After taking a couple of days off as per trying circumstances, I have triumphantly returned to the GR office.

My review of Pacifika’s Ascunsion has been quoted on the band’s website: http://www.pacifikaonline.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=15&Itemid=29

Did a news story today, as well as entering some This Just In press release info into the database. Presently, I’m working on tourdates– a tedious process, but not difficult.

Tad forwarded me an email from a woman who requested that 6 GR issues be sent to her. As I’ve never sent anything out before– my work here has thus far been confined to the computer– I asked Tom for some help. As sending stuff out is part of his job, he was able to teach me the basics: what envelope to use, how to calculate the cost of the shipping based on the package’s weight, etc. It wasn’t too bad once I learned the steps. It kind of reminded me of working in the general office at my middle school– sending out letters, making labels, blahblahblah– it was fun.

I might start working on the digital issue a bit later, as well as uploading music vids onto the site. Both things are new to me.

It’s rather quiet here save for the sound of typing and one or two phone conversations. Eerily quiet. I miss having the guy behind me blast his eccentric music all day.
