July 8

Another week is over. Today, I spent most of the day working on CD processing/cataloging. Because of interviews, I was banished from my regular afternoon computer where I have a lot of record label information saved so I spent the whole day upstairs at my cataloging desk. Since I was there and since I'm fed up with record label researching, I spent about 6.5 hours working on CD processing instead of the usual 4 I'm supposed to spend. I got quite a rhythm going. I also listened to a lot of music, including Los Lonely Boys, Three Dog Night, Jack Johnson, Christina Milian, Angie Stone, Michelle Shocked, The Fixx and Steriogram, to name some. My batteries in my CD player keep dying - go figure they don't last very long when they are being used about 8 hours a day 5 days a week.

My trainer, Tran, is on vacation until July 25th. She only came in one day this week as it was but now she will be gone for the next two weeks as well. That's fine by me; however, since she looks over all my work, it means that my work will just be piling up while she is gone.

Joe, my cataloging supervisor, asked us if we wanted to go meet with Barbara Tillett, whose title is something like Chief, Cataloging Policy. Not that I knew this until I asked fellow intern Thom, though. So that will happen Monday. Anything to get me away from my computer for any amount of time is something I'm all about...
