It is interesting to read that zines have been around since the late 1980s, such as, “The Match: An Anarchist Journal” (Zoning in on Zines) worked on by the comfort of Fred Woodworth’s house. Also, I like the “Invert Pyramid” (Writing for a Web Audience) style where you start with the conclusion; “[t]hen build upon the conclusion by summarizing the most interesting and important supportive information. Next provide detail about each important point. Then close with background information.” It is good for scanners and it makes sense because we are busy all the time and want to get things done as accurate and as soon as we can.
Also, for my zine project I want to discuss about any details that makes our work a happy place to stay or just happiness vibrations at work to make ourselves feel better. I understand why many people don’t like their jobs because their bosses don’t let them advance in the company. One of these people includes my boyfriend whose boss thinks he is doing him a favor to work for him, when in reality my boyfriend is applying for other jobs in order to feel appreciated.
In my case, I love my job because I’m only working five hours per week as a Spanish tutor - I currently teach two students, but need another one. My apologies for the previous title misunderstanding where I'm actually looking to work with an extra student and I'm not looking for any other job - and it is fun because they tell me about their exciting personal lives that include some gossip. I sympathize with all people who have trouble at work because I had some similar experiences, such as the one where I worked at a small bank as a teller. The supervisor would get desperate to teach me, and at the end, she would not teach me any of a teller’s duties. When I was transferred to another store, I was finally taught by another supervisor how to do other teller’s transactions that the previous one did not teach me. I always thought that she felt that she was doing me a favor for allowing me to do some type of transactions.
Note: My apologies for not adding any link, but blogspot did not allow me.
I loved the picture you put with your blog. My fiance is obsessed with them at the moment.
ReplyDeleteAnd I thought that the inverted pyramid was a good tip too. I enjoyed reading that article because it can help guide the way we write our zines when we make them, which had been my main concerned-- I wasn't sure how to write one. But now I have more information not only about how to write it but about the audience that is going to be reading it.
