Hello all.
Things have been catching up with me. I am doing a 225 hour internship this semester, and need to start going in more. Then there is homework. And office hours. And shifts. Oh yea, and regular classes. Deadlines are popping up left and right. Maybe I will find time to sleep soon, or hang out with friends. In the mean time, coffee is a wonderful thing. And prioritizing what to accomplish during shifts and office hours. Sometimes the things that you want to do during office hours are not the most urgent things that need to get done, but you still have to do the work. What is really getting me through shifts is our outstanding crew though. Knowing that when I open Thursday mornings, Melissa just knows her stuff and hops to it makes it easier to count out the bank, or when she notices that the garbage needs to be taken out so we have a more hygenic environment. And closing last night, when Sam B, Steph Thomas, and I had an impromptu Time Warp Dance party while closing up-sometimes these things just happen when you're in the Zone (haha). I think we hired a great group of people, and it is making working here a really cool experience, especially during crunch time. Keep up the great work guys!
What is this blog?
The RutgersZone is a revolutionary new space located in the Livingston Student Center on the Livingston Campus of Rutgers University. The space includes games like Skee-Ball and Pool, an array of HD Satellite televisions and a full-service ice cream/soda shop.
In addition to creating a unique experience on campus for Rutgers students, the RutgersZone also aims to develop life and leadership skills of the staff members working in the space.
This blog, the RutgersZone Experiment, is a chronicle of this ground-breaking experience being shared by seven undergraduate student managers and one professional staff general manager. These students are being tasked with working as a team to create an unmatched on-campus experience for our guests, learning to become effective managers and constantly "pushing the envelope" for what is expected on a college campus. As a part of their employment experience, each student manager is asked to blog at least once per week about the processes associated with opening this space or developing as a manger.
