Day Three: May 10th, 2013

Another day, another opportunity to learn things through actually working. Three days so far, and I can understand that a job in a cubicle is nothing like The Office. Kidding of course, I always knew that it would be nothing like The Office. Doesn't mean I can't be a bit miffed about how bored I can be within a few hours of organizing files on a computer with nothing but my supervisor and a bottle of Coca-Cola to keep me company.

Other than doing common desk work, I was able to sit down with a reporter in Caribbean Business,who's name I've been asked not to give out. He wrote an article stating an analysis of the H.R. 2499 act, and how it could have changed Puerto Rico forever. He said that while the act lacked the sufficient votes to be passed in the Senate, it is something that has been plaguing Puerto Rico for a long time and deserves attention. He even sat down with people like Senator Henry Reid and Representative Llena Ros-Lehtinen for exclusive interviews, explaining that its important for a newspaper to grab exclusive interviews in order to be successful. Hopefully next week, I'll be able to get more sit-downs with some of the employees of Caribbean Business and learn from those who regularly question politician.
