Day 63: Interview with THE Joe Lavigne

On my way into work I had to make a quick stop. Ms. Denise had put together a packet for one of the teachers at Woodriver Middle School, and it needed to be dropped off. When I pulled up I was surprised and shocked to see cops outside of the school. Nothing had happened, I think it is an everyday thing. There were two cops and a dog manning the school. Cops at schools kind of scare me, and also makes me wonder why they are needed, especially at a middle school in Hailey, ID. Either way I dropped the envelope and got back on the road!

I arrived at the office a little after ten, and told Ms. Denise about the police. She was also surprised. Good to know it wasn't just me.  My list from yesterday had been modified and was ready and waiting. I started with going through the summer classes brochures and editing the pricing error. I then moved onto entering email addresses into our constant contact data base. I thought it wasn't going to end up being too many addresses, but I was mistaken. All the addresses we had anticipated already being in constant contact were not, and so I began to make my way through the list.

Throughout my list I would switch over to a new job to give my typing fingers a rest. First up as usual, the Post Office. Normal, P.O. run as always, and then back to the office. When I got back to the office I returned to logging email addresses. Also on my list was to interview Mr. Joe. He was working on the new set, but we had planned for sometime in the afternoon. The interview was to put one of the Company's staff in the spotlight, to tie in with the upcoming summer programs, and Mr. Joe was up.

More logging, and then a switch again. I went to cleaning mode and did a little Windex-ing of the pictures around the theatre. Then, gave Ms. Kris a lesson on the Flip. Basic tutorial how to use it, how it works, and how it works with the computer. When I have used the flip I have used it on my Mac so the lesson will continue when I bring my Mac in and I can show Ms. Kris the program I use to put movies together.

Time for the big interview! Mr. Joe was ready to go! Ms. Denise had printed out some questions for me and we began the interview. Here's a peek at the speed round of questions.

My favorite answer had to be that his daughter Ava is his role model :)

Back to email logging, and batching out before the day is over. I finally completed the list and made it through all of the emails. Before leaving I quickly batched out, and headed home! Until tomorrow...
