So, this is my second real day of work! After I checked in on Monday, I was told to report to the Foundation office at 8 am the next day. I am working on amp(hitheater) crew until the season opens. I really like it! We do a lot of tough work, but as Theodore Roosevelt said, "Ours was the glory of work and the joy of living". Today we worked with the maintenance crew to take the cover off the escalator. That was a crazy job, but very rewarding. There is a giant outdoor escalator at the amphitheater and in the winter it needs to be covered so that the weather doesn't affect it. Our job was to take off the covering which is corrugated metal panels with insulation and attached with more metal and wire. It involved a lot of carrying, pushing, and stacking!
After lunch, I worked with T (my supervisor) on some of my internship duties. There was a group of elementary kids coming to town, so we were supposed to give them tours of the Harold Schafer center and the Von Hoffman House. Well....the kids didn't come. So I learned what to do during tours and got to watch the Harold Schafer video. I also started reading Medora- Boom, Bust, and Resurrection by Rolf Sletten. It was published last year, and covers a lot of history which is important for my position and for anyone who wants to learn more about Medora! I did some more reading in the Von Hoffman house and called it a day.
All in all, a fairly productive day. I'll have to see how the rest of the week goes!
