May 4th

Today, was another day of envelope stuffing. It's a very tedious process since I was asked to double stuff envelopes which have multiple buyers. The list of people are not in any order, so it took a couple hours.

I was also given Drowning Pools newest cd today. Another great part of my internship. Free CDs!

I got to work on several tasking today Today I got to update the website. It was the TV on DVD: Up to 60% Off section. It was finally something different from the rebate files.

I worked on an envelope stuffing promotion for a couple country bands, like Alan Jackson. Some people ordered numerous copies of the cd's for the promotions since they were autographed cd sleeves. It made me wonder if they sold the autographed sleeves and cd on Ebay afterward.

My boss also sent me a picture of Bullet for My Valentine after they signed Cd sleeves for an upcoming promotion. Very awesome.

I didn't even come close to putting a dent in the rebate file from the other day. Today is devoted to getting a lot of the updates done. My supervisor understands the amount of files, so he's not pressuring me to rush because there is time.

April 22nd

Today I was given 800+ more rebates to add to my list. Again, this will be a very time-consuming task.

Day 10: April 20th

I walked into work with 2 Godsmack posters at my desk. It was a pleasant surprise, and it's awesome know my boss appreciate's my interest in music.

Today I talked to my supervisor about press passes for concerts. He has obtained passes through the company for several years, which became a hobby for him. Photographing events and concerts is something I'm interested so his input was very useful. He explained how most press passes only involve the photographer to be along stage for about 15 minutes of the show, which is about three songs from the artist. He said it's very fast-paced and very rushed, so you can't waste any time. He's photographed Rush's show before and even Carrie Underwood.

After our talk, we raided the promotions closet. It was like Christmas to me. I obtained several posters to add to my collection. I was even able to see the autographed guitar that Drowning Pool signed for a contest. I got a picture with it because I cannot win the contests through the company.

After the fun stuff, I got back to working on my rebate files for Fathers Day.

Day 9: April 15

Another day of working on rebate files for future promotions. Several of the promotions are for male-oriented figured since the file is for Father's Day sales.

Day 8: April 15

Today, was back to working on my rebate file updates. There's 400+ updates to work on since there promotions are for Father's Day within the next few months. This project will take me a couple days to complete.
