The Weekly Wrap-Up: June 6-10, 2016
Well, here we are again. Another week of excitement.
An intern asked me this week how long I've been with OMS, and I realized that it will be six years in July. I told her, "I'd like to say that it's gone by quickly, but the truth is, I've felt every one."
I imagine it's a lot like being in labor. It hurts like heck going through it, but you forget all about it as time goes by. There are a lot of things I've enjoyed about this job and a few things I've found incredibly difficult. I'm glad I'm here, though.
So, on to the week.
I've finished retagging the SAG entries in the back of the booklets. Next week, we'll do cross checks of our work. Eliana, a coworker in Chile, has been splitting Scripture tags. This helps translators as they can just copy and paste from whatever version they use and not have to worry about extraneous text. She'll check my work and I'll go through hers. This is an important step because when you do the same thing over and over again, things can start to slip through the cracks.
I also recorded a radio ad with one of our interns, also named Jessica. As always, you can find our One Mission Minutes at oms.media.
Finally, I've become increasingly conscious that conference is just around the corner. We only have one full week left, so everyone is getting a little anxious about finishing things. I ordered the flags we need and the replacement poles. Those will hopefully arrive next week. (They have to. I don't have any more time.)
I'm down to three flag bearers left to find. Ironically, one of them is for the United States. Maybe it's because I work too closely with people. (Actually, I've asked someone. He just hasn't responded.) I'm sure someone will be missing on the day, but for now, I'm cautiously optimistic.
Have a great weekend, everyone. Wear your sunscreen. It's gonna be a scorcher.
