NEW BOOKS! NEW BOOKS!
Today we opened up a whole lot of new books! Well I did. lol
I got pretty good at opening up boxes with lots of extra tape and lots of cardboard envelopes.
To Do List:
We got just a little under 150 books in. All are now in the database and the info will be completed tomorrow at work with Pam's help!
After opening up all the books I sorted them into publication stacks. For example: July, August, Sept, etc....
Then slyly twittered that I was looking at the towers of books I made for Sara to come help me finish! lol
She came over to the table with me when she was done (for the moment) with her stuff and I read her ISBN numbers. She entered them into bookreader or book recorder or some program like that and I continued to sort them into stacks when that particular book was done.
Gwen stayed in the "office" area working on her soap column then took a nap upstairs...I think? She came down for Lunch and then again later before I left.
Anyways, after sorting all the books by pub. month I put the stacks of books into boxes. Of course I made sure to take out all the books I wanted to read. lol
Sara made a list of the books I wanted and told me to review them! YES! Publish experience!
Today was definitely new book day. We stayed in. I got to work. Worked hard. Ate pizza for lunch. Had fun.
Another good day in the life of being a FreshFiction.com Intern.
Till Tomorrow!Becky

11am - 5pm
Sry, It's been a while...
Well I kinda forgot about this thing and then it was fourth of july weekend...then I forgot about it again... :)
Today we had a super Adventure!
To Do List:
I got to the house at 11am as usual as always and we left for the Studio Movie Grill for a PR event. Guess who I randomly ran into?
Back story: This past spring I applied to join this prestigious group on campus called PLP (the Professional Leadership Program) through the College of Business. After a rigorous application process and stressful panel interview I got ACCEPTED!!
Well, I ran into Fanny, a student director in PLP, one of many who sat through my interview. I was sooo excited. She was all dressed up with her Mentor Bill Wallace who ran the event.
After saying hi to her I went back to sit down and ordered lunch. I happened to be the only one who ordered food...Well, one of the only ones who didn't order a salad and got a hamburger instead. lol
We all had to stand up and introduce ourselves to the ppl in the room. Guess who sat behind me?
Back story: When I was a freshman in high school, I was on the cheerleading squad.
Well, A girl from the varsity cheerleading squad of high school that year stood up and introduced herself as an anchorwoman for cbs or nbc. one of them. That's pretty cool.
It really is a small world. Probably smaller now that I've been an RA and like to be involved.
We sat through a demo on "sound bites" by Jeff Brady and Rebecca Rodriguez. Three unlucky people got called to the front and we critiqued how well they did on camera. I really learned alot. Took notes on my Ipod Touch. lol cause of course I forgot paper.
When it was done, I went down to the bottom so I could introduce myself to Bill Wallace, Fanny's Mentor. Once I mentioned PLP he got super excited. lol It was nice and entertaining. Made me feel special. I took a picture with him and fanny and then went back home with Sara this time.
We took two cars cause Gwen had a movie to review.
Sara gave me some good advice and when we got home I emailed everyone I saw there (from what I remembered) and told how nice it was to meet them or see them again.
Then I wrote Readers and Ritas (R and R) Minutes...
Easy, interesting, entertaining, day.
Tomorrow we'll be opening up 3 boxes full of new books to sort!
I'm learning so much through this internship and meeting people I never thought I would.
I love having a small world. It makes things more accessible and much more fun.

11am-?
Interesting work day today.
I woke up late... yes I did. So I guess me being a lean, mean, working machine was not really accurate. lol I quickly showered, grabbed me some work pants, let my hair dry on the way and made sure not to forget my laptop as I hopped in the car.
When I drive, I always imagine that I'm in a movie with music going on in the background! So, I got me some intense punk rock music and blared it out of my windows as I raced to work. I made it here 2 minutes over 11 because it takes me 2 minutes to turn my car off, get out, and get my ass to the door.
So, it was ok. I didn't miss anything.
I met Lex and Winston at the door (Reyes dogs) and said my happy hellos.
Apparently the morning started off badly for some people I won't mention.
Today's To Do List:
I need to read a book..
What I really need to do later is start writing my novel. Yes, I'm writing one. You should look for me in the future sometime! :)
Happy Working! Becky

We had an adventure today! Off to Mindy's house in Irving!
We stopped for lunch at 7 Salas and then went for the house.
Pat, Mindy, Sara, Gwen and me are in attendance.
People, these ladies are hilarious!! HILARIOUS!!
Lots of gossip AND sex talk! I'm glad I'm already used to this. Dorms are much worse...

I'm of course in the first category; but, I won't ever get that hot steamy paranormal romance I so desperately want :(
Ohh, the woes of being me!
Update: Looking for Harlequin book summaries is such a chore and IMPOSSIBLE! Geeeeez!
Till tomorrow! Becky

11am - 4:45pm
I arrived to work on-time, as usual, and got straight to work! That's right. I'm tough, I'm smart, and I'm a mean, clean working machine! lol :P
I'm so totally wearing my work pants! aka: my pajama bottoms paired with a HUGE sweatshirt. Yes, I'm comfy and you should be jealous. Working for a company that works from home is AMAZING! I will do this oneday :) It's the life.
Since I have no internet at the house at the moment, long story, I checked all my emails, facebook messages, and made a twitter! I have finally succumbed to the "social networking" peer people of the world. I am under BeckyTalks. Check me out!
Things to do today:
- Update Robert Crais' back list and author page on Fresh Fiction
- Continue to work on "missing data project" currently on week June 30 - July 7
- I should find another book to read and review
- check email to see if anyone from FF needs to haze me with something else...j/k (it cool, no hazing here! honest!) lol
Update: We had pizza for lunch! Yumm!
Update: Left early because of BAD WEATHER! Booo!
