Finally Some Work!

So today, my internship was great. I was doing work that actually pertained to my interests too. Today, I updated and reformatted the event (dry erase) board for all of the Inside Government events. My task was to include events that were not listed on the board, to update the attendance/delegates paid, and to put the events in chronological order. I then completed work on a marketing piece for more events that were scheduled in September and October 2009. The task was to research recent articles and latest news and then write a paragraph describing the event while tying the news to the specific conference. This will be used as the opening text for email readers sent to all potential delegates. This time, I was asked specifically to tie the event in with recent news articles. I then spoke to Mr. Chaudhry about the tube strike and he said that it would be fine if I showed up late. I also organized Purchase Orders for GovNet Events for 2008 by specific event. Finally, I wrote emails to prospective delegates for the events that I completed the marketing piece for (September and October 2009).

For lunch today, I went to Pizza Hut for their lunch buffet. It was good, but not the exact same as in the States. However, I must say that they are very timely with the pizzas on the buffet - once one is gone, they replace it immediately.

I then returned home and watched a movie.

I also booked the hostel for France and hopefully will book the hostel for Venice soon. I am going to bed early because the tube stations did go on strike and I need to take a bus to work tomorrow.

Cheers!
