I'm wondering if it might be more productive for me to move my shift back by an hour (1-5pm instead of noon-4). It seems like there is very little to do between noon and 1:00, but then when everything goes crazy at 4:00, Gretchen is left with a lot to do by herself. I think having someone there overlapping the two shifts slightly might make for better coverage and make the afternoon/evening easier on everyone.
Today went pretty well (especially since we didn't have lab last week). Brad and I had a chance to learn how to post to the Beyond Lawrence part of the site. I remembered most of how to do the 3pm news brief and then posted a J415 story before I left. Thanks to Justin who showed me how to resize the image that was eclipsing my Web story!
