Desk Day 10

Yesterday was the Bank Holiday, had a great weekend celebrating Mum and Dad’s 25th Wedding Anniversary. More to follow on that.

Back in the office today, getting confused because I had that Monday morning feeling even though it’s Tuesday.

Looking particularly thrilled that the Bank Holiday is over

Desk Day 9

Today was dress down Friday.

Wore that new H&M top with a shirt over it.

I’ve been at work experience for two weeks now and it has been fantastic.

I like having the routine and doing things that actually contribute to the team.

Driving myself to work and back today gave me even more of that precious independence.

Looking forward to the bank holiday weekend.

Desk Day 8

Had a nice day at work, getting the hang of it now, nothing exciting really happened.

Joe got some great GCSE results today!

Forgot to take a photo in the office.

Desk Day 7

This afternoon I attended a ‘Bloggade’ at Timico.

It consisted of chats about how to manage your blog in order for it to be successful.

I found all of this very interesting and realised I wasn’t really doing any of it.

This is, for the moment, by choice, because I haven’t dedicated the time to it, however I have retained the information for when my blog really does become a useful tool to me.

A highlight of the day was when we tried to get #bloggade trending on twitter using various tactics. We also got a tour round Timico’s very impressive data centre.

Here is Dad’s blog post about it all: http://www.trefor.net/2013/08/22/first-bloggade-a-big-success/

Desk Day 6

Desk Day Six was meant to be yesterday, however it turned out to be a sick day for me.

Nevertheless, I am back at the desk.

Today was a normal and enjoyable day at work.

Afterwards I met Phoebe and Sarah for a coffee. Sophisticated.

An unexpected gust of wind caught me as I left work.

Desk Day 5

Actually, I didn’t spend today at a desk. I was in London with Dad on business!

I shadowed him from meeting to meeting, and managed to nip into Liberty before we got the train home.

The Liberty Art Fabrics department is absolutely my idea of heaven. I was in awe.

I loved the idea of creating wall art out of beautiful fabrics in embroidery hoops.

Desk Day 3

Overheard today:

“Hello, thank you for calling Timico, how may I help?”

“I would like to order a carrier bag from the new catalogue”

“I think you may have the wrong number, we are an internet service provider…”

“You’ll have to speak up a bit, there are building works going on outside my house”

“We don’t sell carrier bags”

Office hoots with laughter

Desk Day 2

I started work upstairs today in the Small Business Department.

I actually get things to do, rather than shadow someone (which is normally the practice), and I like to be kept busy!

I am trying to discretely take selfies like this without people noticing.

Wore the new H&M trousers today, and, sadly, they are quite uncomfortable to move about in. I spend my day sat down though, so it’s not too much of a problem.

Desk Day 1

This is the first day of my work experience with Timico, an Internet Service Provider based in Newark. http://www.timico.co.uk/ (quick plug)

Today I am researching the way businesses use social media . I’m spending my day on competitors’ Twitter feeds. Sneaky.

Had McDonald’s for lunch. Not doing that again, promise.
