I am now blogging from my office. Haha, let me introduce you to the art of blogging in the office.
1) check CAREFULLY and make sure that your boss is not looking.
2) type with a serious expression. To make your act more real, occasionally sigh and scratch your head with a look of puzzlement and confusion.
3) be SMART. Type your entry in Microsoft Word first before posting it online. (as to what I am doing now)
BUT my dears, don’t start being envious of me and think that my work is damn free such that I have the free time to blog.
Let me reveal the honest truth of my life as a PR intern: I am DAMN busy.
This is like the first time that I actually have no work to do and can take a breather. This is because the PR department here is so understaffed that they have incessant projects to complete. So everyday, I leave the office with my brains fried because I’ve spent the day churning out press releases, advertorials, articals, etc.
Ah, but lets not forget the perks. Lunch here is absolutely free. So my daily net earnings are equivalent to my gross earnings. Not bad I say. I actually do earn $65 a day too because I work 10 hours a day (ok, this is not exactly a perk. Haha!).
My boss is really nice to me in the sense that she has lunch with me, treated me to a $40 lunch yesterday, and really let me learn things by trying not to give me too much sai gang.
My work is extremely wide ranged. One minute I can be writing an advertorial, the next I can be ushering important guests around Singapore and than I can be in Mediacorp watching interviews. (chris, I have met MANY cute chefs!! J ) It is extremely taxing but I think I am addicted to my job. I actually ask my boss for more work.
But I have my regrets. Although it is now the World Gourmet Summit, I havent got a chance to try any gourmet yet. L
