The Weekly Albertan

At 9:00 a.m. I was sitting at the folding table (aka the meeting table) for our Wednesday morning story meeting.  Laura’s schedule today; 10 a.m. take pictures of UNBC students sorting garbage, 11:30 a.m. take pictures and interview students at blood donor clinic, 11:45 a.m. take practicum student (me) for lunch, after lunch call about avalanche workshop and write story, 3:00 p.m. interview and take pictures of Emily Carr professor.  Three students were standing in the cold with rubber gloves when I arrived.  They dug into the big green garbage bags for pictures.  The Blood Donor Clinic was running behind and the students did not give blood until noon.  I arrive half hour late for my lunch party.  Mmmm panini with borscht and loose green tea.  I call the avalanche guy who is paranoid and wants to see the article before it get printed.  All he said was where it was being held and when, who can go and how much it costs. He even e-mailed to remind me that he would like that.  At 3:45 p.m. I head down to Exploration Place.  The Emily Carr Professor told me everything about his exhibition and insisted the staff needed to be in the pictures I shot.  Back at the office I down loaded the photos and started writing.  4:30 p.m. and it was home time.  I love this job.
