In preparation for the upcoming Seva Call summer BBQ, the bosses decided to go to Sam’s Club to get food. We planned on getting a lot of different types of meats, vegetarian food, chips, drinks, appetizers, deserts, etc.
Spoils for the night:
1. 80 rolls of toilet paper
2. Coke in actual BOTTLES
3. 100 lbs of raw meat
4. 3 Trays of Corn Muffins
5. And a million other things enough to completely fill up 3 larger than normal shopping carts.
On the way back we were buried in buns, chips, toilet paper, a pepperoni pizza which we ate for dinner.
You might find yourself thinking, “how is my summer internship in Maryland going?” Well, its been great, we have done so much this summer at Seva Call, and in such a short period of time!
We have been kept busy and morality is high. Fresh off the company BBQ, (I’m still full from all of the cheeseburgers and pie, and I think I may have pulled a hamstring in the two-hand touch football game) everyone seems to be happy and excited to get back to work. It’s a good atmosphere up here in the penthouse office as we interns sit at our fancy conference table (or the long, plastic picnic table in GP and MP’s basement, but who’s checking?) We all get along, and we all seem to know what we’re doing (at least to some extent).
It seems that every day there is some new task to accomplish. I guess starting up a business will cause this to happen. I’ve been revising and adding content and information for the website along with a few others. Some other interns are working on graphic design and tutorials for website.
Things are looking good from the interns’ perspective. You’ll hear more from me soon!
We decided that the recent snow storm would be a good time to test out the website for real consumers. At this time lots of people were trying to find snow plowers, so why not let Seva Call do the work for them?
Since most people had not heard of Seva Call yet, we turned on some online advertising and we got people to come to the website. And without having snow removal companies officially signed up, we decided to give some companies calls without any warning. We were not sure how it would work out, but fortunately the companies answered their phones and helped these consumers. This worked out great and was great progress for the business. I guess this proved that we are ready to start releasing Seva Call for other services like plumbing, computer repair, electricians, home cleaning services, etc!
