I am in charge of planning the Oregon Coastal and Oceanic Information Network’s annual webinar.  So far I have been making lots of lists!  I have a list for each part of the planning process and a list of tasks to delegate to others.  I even have a list of lists!  I have been researching different types of webinars and how they facilitated last year’s meeting.  

I work 20 hours a week and usually spread it out to have four hours a day.  I try not to multitask and work through a single task before starting another one.  This can be hard though because many of the main tasks I have can not be finished in a single sitting because I need feedback from someone or because they just take too long.  

My fellow OCOIN interns (Angela and Jenna) and I try to meet every Friday morning to discuss how our work is going, to help each other with career development, and just hangout!  We have had many discussions about books and shows.  I meet with my supervisors every Monday and they are always an email away if I need them.  

I try to stretch and move my body often and I try to work outside for as long as my allergies permit it.  My friends and I have had some distance picnics recently which have been a lot of fun.  

I honestly enjoy working from home but I am not a fan of impersonal Zoom calls.  I prefer smaller calls where the participants can chat.  Overall I like working in my pajamas and at my own pace.  

Here is a picture of my work space. I have been working on the floor and on my bed because my room is under construction!
