Week Five: Bats!
This week, I continued a bit of the work I started last week, scanning the rest of the books I needed to and creating PDFs from the scans. These PDFs had to look perfect (or at least close to it), since the first set of PDFs were sent back due to some imperfections. Throughout the week, more requirements had to be made in the PDFs as well. I spent a good amount of time editing the PDFs to be free of blemishes such as scanned fingers and alligator clips, resized them all, made the pages as straight as possible (which was difficult with some of the pages since they curved a lot), and then helped create title pages for all of the PDFs. Not really "legal" work persay, but it did remind me of journal. Throughout the week, I also got various smaller legal assignments as well, so I was kept busy.
On Wednesday, I saw a shadow dash across the doorway of my room. It was a bat! Apparently, they come in every now and then through the building and hang in the corners of the building, usually at the top. Thankfully, this bat was resting on the ground, so we did not have to worry about any bats swooping down on us. One of my coworkers covered it with a box and informed the University so they could dispose of the bat safely. Below is a picture that my coworker took of the bat.
