Boring day today? No, a excellent day, a great day a perfect day. Today 8-24-09 I got to intern at one of my favorite publications of all time. THE ONION! From there gut busting headlines to there clever weather reports THE ONION is the funniest publication of all time, and I got to see there office but also work on the floor of there office. Was this a result of my amazing writing skills, No it was because of a family friend. But that is not to say in the near future it will be because of my writing. My job today was simple, organize the hundreds of Cd's spread across the floor of our friends office. organize by name of the artist. I thought this would be easy until I got to the office.
Hundreds upon hundreds if Cd's from the classic era of punk to the R&B scene of yesturyear. Piles stacked up on each other. Music that even my music fanatic mind cannot comprehend or even think about without getting a headache. From such titles as “Rain in Hell” to “Native American folk music.” A extremely wide variety of music makes a one's job much more challenging. I try and recognize some of the Cd's but so far I only know the one “Montle Crue”
Even with two hours of work my job sill isn't done, I will be heading back there later this week. I head out of the office with three free buttons, two stickers, one t-shirt and free water. My family friend, her name is Bree Davies. She reviews concerts in Denver and for right now she is my hero. After talking “Writer talk” for fifteen minutes I go home. I say goodbye to Bree and hello to a new tomorrow. Bree's site is www.breedavis.com Thank you Bree.

ReplyDeleteNoah! You have helped us so much this past week. Tuyet wants to know if you would come back maybe mid-September and help us again? We would like to have you do some fact-checking on articles as well, maybe give you some fun stuff to do, not just the manual labor:)
