Week Three - Terms and Talking

WVU Business Incubator logo
I continued working on terms and conditions this week. We moved further into the editing and revising stage. I gathered a bunch of different samples (like 50 to be exact) and mushed them all up to take bits and pieces from each one, depending on what I liked best.

Now, I am slowly sifting through to get rid of everything I don't need and narrowing it to a specific focus. Dusty is looking over them, and I made edits to hopefully get a working version completed by next Tuesday.

He sent the split letter to the tenant last week and is waiting to hear back. I will most likely be doing a lot of editing Tuesday between these terms and conditions and the split letter. Fortunately, I love editing. I enjoy the whole researching stage as well, but I really like digging in to get that finished product. This could be said about my passion for the newspaper industry, as well. I always prefer editing over actually writing.

Why? Maybe because I'm a perfectionist. I like taking this rough document/article/whatever and shaping it to become something that can be used as a legal document/piece of literature/whatever. I like having that helping hand in making something complete.

The environment here is becoming more comfortable, too. Just today, I had my picture taken for the website. Unfortunately it monsooned here, so my hair is a hot mess, but regardless, having my photo on the website makes me feel more included in this small family. Whenever it is updated, it will appear here: http://wvubi.com/staff/.

Along those same lines, I've been talking with the other intern, a corporate services intern. I can honestly say I like every single person I work with. They all have these different characteristics, and everyone just seems to mesh well together so well. Dusty is the head honcho and very goal-driven. Jo is like a mother, but she is the accountant. Matt does all graphics/tech/photography necessary, and the other intern, Anne, works with marketing. I deal with writing and editing. We all have our little niches, and I like it this way. Beyond how talented they are, they are fantastic people. I feel at home, and I'm now just ending week three.
