Wednesday, 9 March

I returned to work today with many tasks on my plate; first of which was to track down the transcript of an NPR Morning Report: Marketplace that our CEO had a snippet in. The report can be found here.

I've also started working on cleaning out those files from our 'hard' system. My task is to root through all the current files I could find (i.e. approximately 120 files) and pull out any and all necessary paperwork in each file and order chronologically, putting the most recent communication from a granter on the top of the stack on the left side of the folder, and our most recent communication with them on the top of the stack on the right side of the folder. This requires throwing out duplicate copies, proposals found in the G Drive and any other unnecessary or otherwise useless information. In short, it takes about 15-20 minutes on an average file. The process is long and mentally taxing and frustrating, but it's worth it. The cleaned up files will make room in the file cabinet and make it easier for the Grant Writer(s) to read up on a granter. But this project will take a good month to finish.

I worked 8 hours today.
