ADAY INTHE LYNNPROLIFE: STORIES FROMOUR STAFF JACOB AND HIS GIRLS SPLASH, COLOR, AND CAMP THROUGH QUARANTINE If you’ve been reading this newsletter from the beginning, then you’ve “met” pretty much everyone on our staff here at Lynnpro. That said, we’re proud of our employees and don’t want to silence their voices after just an introduction. Instead, we’ve decided to give them a spot in the newsletter to tell stories about their lives outside of work. Our “Live Life” philosophy says that’s when the important things really happen! This month, we chatted with our head printer, Jacob Oster, about how he’s kept busy during this crazy time of social distancing. Because of the pandemic, Jacob was off work for several weeks, then came back to print T-shirts, bags, sweatpants, hats, and other items for us part time. Jacob is happy to be back at work, but says he also really enjoyed the time off with his young family. His fiancée, Mackenzie, is a stay-at-home mom to their two daughters, 2-year-old Marlee and 1-year-old Jaclynn, and they’ve been splashing, coloring, and camping their way through the season. “It’s something different every week to keep the girls busy,” Jacob says. “Since it’s summer, it helps a lot that I bought a pool! The kids love to swim — it’s a go-to. We also have five different types of coloring activities,
and that’s probably the main thing they enjoy doing. We have a water mat that they can draw on and it turns different colors, and we have chalk and crayons. Then we also have typical new-generation stuff like a kids’ tablet where they have learning activities and things like that.” When they aren’t playing with the kids, Jacob and Mackenzie love watching Netflix together. This summer, they binged “The 100,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” and “Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich.” They’re also planning a camping trip with the girls. “This is somewhere my fiancée has gone before; it’s a whole campsite out by the Poconos, the Poconos caves and stuff. It might be something we’ll turn into a tradition because it looks like it will be a lot of fun,” Jacob says. Hopefully you’ve enjoyed this glimpse into Jacob’s life outside the office! You can look forward to more of these stories as we pass the mic to our staff in the months to come.
