I just have a couple questions. I've abuse it. I get out my no pet. So, so you're a manager here at the Y and I know Todd's in charge of scheduling. What are you in charge of?

Speaker 1

00:12

As like a niche? As a niche? I'm one of the closing managers. My area of responsibility is running the unit Student Employment Program, and, I guess, student program. So that also includes the student management team. So we give the opportunity to, you know, student employees. They're not all students at the university. Some are, like, the last years of high school or community colleges, and we hire them, and, you know, we teach them the basic job skills. And we also have management opportunities, which is really nice because, you know, limited employment experience, and you get something that's really good for

Amelia

00:47

your resume. Yeah, I didn't even know that was a thing. So that's really cool. And then, what is your music taste? Would you say? So I know that Todd said that managers kind of go around and they like flip to stations with music tastes that they like when they come and they, I mean, you're closing, so you probably have something on, yeah. What are you into? Specifically?

Speaker 1

01:07

I would say it's crazy and vague, but I really do like a very wide range of music, because I love music so much. Yeah, in general, I would guess I would like, you know, the genre, like the radio station my go to here is like Sirius XM 35 which is like the alternative or indie rock station. And I would say outside of work, I listen to, like a lot of rap music and a lot of heavy metal punk scream, oh, but in the building, we are limited to our choices obscene content. Or streaming, yeah,

Amelia

01:46

yeah, that's really cool. So what do you think about the music taste here? Do you think it's fun that you get to, like, pick your own stations when you come in? Like, is that something that you enjoy specifically?

Speaker 1

01:55

Yeah, I enjoy it because this station that I like using, they it varies a lot depending on who's DJing or, like, who's running the playlist. Some of the other play, some of the other stations are very repetitive, I would say, yeah. But the station that I like, it's, like, it's a very vague and general genre in itself, like, yeah, alternative and indie. So, like, sometimes it's, it's a lot of you know, like, stuff I like, like, Radiohead, neutral, Milk Hotel, just like, MGMT, just like, you know, generic stuff, yeah, and then it

Amelia

02:27

introduces you to new things, yeah, I don't have

Speaker 1

02:32

it. I grab it. No, I do have it. Yeah.

Amelia

02:38

Well, that's fun. And then, um, what days to you works?

Speaker 1

02:43

Just to like, I work. I'm off on Tuesday and Thursday.

Amelia

02:47

Off on Tuesday and Thursday. Okay, so closing shift, when everyone's gone, do you have something like, turned up on the station just to, like, get yourself going until the end? No,

Unknown Speaker

02:56

we usually keep it the same. Yeah.

Amelia

03:00

Okay. I think that's it for my question. Questions. Is there anything else you want to talk about with music? Why? Or like, your experience as a manager? Where is this from? So this is I have, okay, so I'm in I'm a journalism student, and for our first year, we need to have a media participation project where you pitch a story at it at an outlet, or you have an internship. And so I've always been interested in the music taste of the why? Because you come in so diverse and interesting, and I really enjoy it. My friends do too. So I pitched it to a publication called her campus, which is like, specifically supporting female writers and so on, how to publish there, and it's also easier to pitch there. But I also copy edited another publication called the Diamondback, which is like, our main Yeah,

Speaker 1

03:45

that's cool. It was very interesting. I was glad me and Bob were able to give you some information. Yeah, and

Amelia

03:51

it's really interesting. You know, I love learning new things about everything, and my friends are really interested in this article too. So I'm sure that people are gonna want to

Speaker 1

03:58

it's funny, like, there's a lot of, like, interesting comments. Like, people will just randomly comment, yeah, because we have a system where we allow um feedback from employee, I mean, guests, yeah, they can scan this and just type, like, any type of comment, yeah. So there, there's, like, people, they randomly say, like, oh, whoever was, um, chose the station or the music this day, did a great day. Like, they did a great job and stuff. So it's nice to see, you know, the students excited? Yeah, for me, I really,

Speaker 2

04:23

I would say the music is integral to my shift, just because it's just strange,

Speaker 1

04:30

I would say it helps me focus. And then I guess, like, even whenever you go out to eat somewhere, you know, it plays a role in your experience. It does. So it's nice that, you know, it's contributing to a better experience for the girls. Yeah,

Amelia

04:42

it is. And, I mean, I think it'd be really weird if there wasn't any music, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I, I come in here and it's just, it's just fun to have something fresh, and you don't have to wear headphones to make things not awkward. You just have something that's already wet. So, yeah, all right, thank you. All right. Thank you so much. See.
