In which Amanda tries to go-kart with her coworkers in the spirit of team building, but is turned down for being too much people.

  Tonight was supposed to be a team building/super fun times activity for the customer service team. We were gonna do go–karts around the Allstar Grand Prix in Sterling and it was gonna be awesome! Until it wasn’t. Like, right off the bat it wasn’t. I was already bummed that it was tonight since the … More In which Amanda tries to go-kart with her coworkers in the spirit of team building, but is turned down for being too much people.

Epiphany.

  Today, I ran my very first workshop on film producing! About ten pledges and brothers showed up and I think they got a lot out of it. At least, I hope they did. I told them to send me feedback if they felt it necessary. Plus, a couple brothers who have producing experience spoke … More Workshop.
