Today was my second day of work. It started even better than yesterday, I sat in 20 MINUTES of traffic…which was at 7:30 am. (Why can’t people drive?!?!?) However after I got to work, it did get a lot better. I was able to gain more knowledge on how the radio stations operate and it was easier to pick up the broadcast terminology and so on. Which was great. But wait it gets better.
See, part of my job includes planning and mandating events for the various stations our media group operates. Officially, my title is “Marketing Coordinator” which involves doing a walk-through which I had no idea what that meant.
So, when one of my bosses (I have a lot) told me we were going on one for an event we are hosting this Saturday, I just nodded my head and got in the company car with her, my mentor, and the Creative Director. (My dream job)
When we got to the venue, there was a big-ass recording artist van in the lot, which made me wonder…who could that be. Well, as I would come to find out, it belonged to good old Carly Rae Jepsen. Yes, I got to see and listen to Miss Jepsen during her set rehearsal while I was getting paid to work. I love the corporate world. (Sometimes)
On the real, though, it was pretty cool. I was able to see behind the scenes of the stage setup and talk to the people like they were normal human beings. (Which celebrities are people, realize that) Though I did, really, really want to say I, really, really like you and get a photo with her, I was still at “work” technically and I didn’t want to be “that person” on my second day of work. Overall, though, it was a very productive and entertaining day at the office. I think I may like working in the corporate world after all…at least everything about it but the traffic.
With Love,
Lex Paige
