GRN

As you all know I've been interning with the Gulf Restoration Network. So far, work has been pretty routine: drafting cover letters about Katrina Anniversary movie screenings, looking up contact information for senators and congressmen, and the likes. GRN is a non-profit with the goal of saving the Gulf Coast, mainly through spreading knowledge of the dangers plaguing Louisiana. A disturbing, and frightening tidbit that I picked up is that Louisiana loses a football field in wetlands every 45 minutes. So, it appears that the Saints season is in jeopardy. Here you can see some pictures of me diligently working in what we affectionately refer to as "the intern sweatshop". It has no windows, and a very low ceiling, such that certain interns must duck slightly when navigating the sweatshop. However, we do have a nice, brightly colored decorative sheet on the wall to liven things up, and the interns have created a jovial atmosphere. The GRN is also a very dog friendly establishment, with anywhere from 1 to 7 dogs running around on any given day. Sometimes the dogs do not get along so well, and we hear barking from downstairs. Sometimes Aaron our supervisor emits such barking sounds too; however this is just standard office procedure. Please take a moment to view our intern office tour video (below). It depicts a normal day at the office. Well, it is now 10:30, and if I want to be lively and energetic at work tomorrow I had better start drinking coffee now. After all, I have an exciting day of drafting cover letters, going to a rally outside of Congressman Cao's office, and running through Audobon Park so that all of the lovely Loyola ladies can check me out...well, here's to imagining. Until the next post, be safe, have fun, and most importantly remember to take your vitamins.

peace,
Moe
