I work for one of the greatest aquariums in the state.
When I first visited it with our family in our youth, I knew that someday I wanted to be employed by this attractive locale.
In high school I started an internship in the office with the staff, and now I’m one of various administrative assistants in the main office at the aquarium. I handle everything from scheduling appointments, filing paperwork, and creating fliers for both staff and guests. Since it’s an aquarium and we have water everywhere, there has been a tendency for fliers to disintegrate within a few days of putting them on walls throughout the facility. After a bit of frustration, I came across a website discussing different kinds of printers, including some that can print on waterproof paper. I told our boss that we needed a digital color label printer that can handle waterproof printing. Every one of us have been wasting paper and ink on reprinting current signs every week to replace the ones that get waterlogged and fall apart in small pieces. When I managed to find an affordable digital color printer that can print on waterproof paper, I showed it to our boss on her tablet. She reluctantly agreed to buy the current printer. Now I’m printing labels and signs once because they’re all lasting for as long as we need to keep them up. They stay perfectly preserved until there is no use for them any longer. The amount of currency we have saved in printer ink has more than paid for the waterproof printer at this point. I suppose that our boss is happy that the investment paid off in the long run. I’m just happy that our task is easier now with the current printer.
