yay for productivity!!

yesterday at work i felt like nothing got accomplished. i only scanned about 20 projects in (which is not very many, by the way), had 2 hours of meetings, and then worked on different projects here and there for a few minutes each. i did manage to print off 3 reports (only 3 pages each), but i still feel like nothing got done.

today was a different story! i went through and scanned 60 projects, plus documented the elements of about 12 segments of my one big project. i just have to go through this video that has conference clips, documenting the speaker and the videographer, along with any graphics or artwork in the clips. it's pretty exciting stuff. i'm liking it a lot.

and in other good news, i'm getting a raise. kinda. i was told that while i'm training on the IP (intellectual property) stuff, i'd still get paid my normal rate of $11/hr. today i was informed that i will, in fact, be making $14.16/hr during the times that i'm working on my IP projects. exciting stuff. that'll add about $30/week to my paycheck. i'll take it!

work jokes

having re-entered the realm of the employed, i need a little humor to get me through the day sometimes. they're giving me a break from scanning and i've started working on some real intellectual property stuff. one of the projects that's been assigned to me has to do with the use of a particular font in some sort of training for family history. this video was recommended to me by my trainer.



and the sequel. . .
