It was gloomy all morning and the sun only started to shine at 3:34 pm. Fashionably late, she showed her glorious self, which was still a nice way to end the day, I think.
I got to the seventeen offices and had an early meeting with Zainab to discuss my interview questions for MacGyver Knife, the band I will be interviewing. I’m feeling a bit nervous because this is my first band interview (Eek!).
Jessica, the deputy editor, emailed us tips on compiling a list of random things we absolutely love at the moment. While the rest of the seventeam sat quietly at work, all the interns formed a little circle of chairs chatting away about ideas ranging from favourite music to restaurants.
I had a meeting with Khwezi and Zainab regarding the October Careers issue’s Scene section. During our lunch break, the girls and I took the lift to the canteen. We are almost veterans at moving around the building without getting lost now.
On our way up, the doors opened and we saw the most magical foyer with colourful retro chairs and wallpaper. We had landed on an interior decorating magazine’s floor and we just had to go and introduce ourselves. They said we could explore the funky furniture, so with our camera ready, we went exploring and took some really cool pics.
We got back to the office after our ‘photo shoot’ only to find Khwezi in a television interview. There was a camera crew in our workspaces so we had to be patient. After what felt like forever, I sent off my careers (link to career of the month) interview emails to some South African A-listers (2 out of 3 have replied so far… yay!).
So it was a pretty productive day for me.
Juanita, entertainment intern
