More office work

So, now that the cookout's over, I'm back to doing office work. I've surprisingly found that, if I'm going to do menial tasks, I'd prefer to do things that require physical exertion over things that involve using a computer. And sadly, office work is the latter. Happily, not all of my tasks were menial. Though my days would often start out with a bit of data entry, I eventually moved on to tasks that required more thinking.

The first of these tasks was to write a thank-you letter addressed to a group of volunteers (we were writing and printing one thank-you letter for all of them since they all came from the same school). Since I had previously had the job of editing previously written thank-you letters for different donations, I had a vague idea of what such a thank-you letter should look like. Nonetheless, I found myself opening other thank-you letters that were saved on my computer to decide what to write in my thank-you letter.

Later on, I did a more in-depth design of the web page I had began designing on the first day. This task was somewhat frustrating since Microsoft word had the nasty habit of moving every bit of text in the document whenever a picture was re-sized, inserted, or moved, but I eventually managed to get the job done. I then moved to the job of designing postcards using the more picture-friendly Microsoft publisher. This job had less limitations imposed on me, so it felt quite gratifying.
