Printing, Printing and More Printing

I've been very busy over the past few days, so this blog post should have been made a little while ago so to catch up....

I spent most of last week and the first few days of this week working on the Internet Accounts report that I mentioned in my last post. This involved printing the home page, privacy policy, customer service information, return policy, and the results from searching the term "hoover" from 214 different websites applying to maintain the legal rights to sell Hoover products online. This project was extremely time consuming and took up and ENORMOUS amount of paper. I temporarily moved my cubicle to the copy center where I printed out a small forest's worth of paper. Although the project was not all that fun I did get a chance to meet a lot of new people while in the copy center. That copy center houses the main printers, faxers, laminators, automatic hole punchers, and binding machines (all of which I am now expert at using) for the non-creative marketing department, the finance department and the sales department. It was interesting to get to talk to all of the different people who walk through there on a daily basis. When I finally finished the project, I had seven 4" three ring binders to turn in to my sponsor. It felt really good to be finally done with that project, and to not have to announce at another morning logistical meeting that I will be spending my day working on the Internet Account reports. It also feels good to know that that report will influence which online dealers (both for commercial and consumer) Hoover will allow to sell their products.
