Slowing Down

Well as one of our supervisors predicted on Friday, things are slwoing down for us here at MSG. This past Friday night, we got to work at the Knicks City Dancer reveal party at The Hill in the Gramercy area. That was fun because it was something other than the normal office pace. However, they didn't really have that much for us to do. I wish things were busier, that there was more of a rush to get things done. Not only would it make the day fly by faster, but it would give us a sense of accomplishment and purpose. I have a meeting tomorrow with one of the VP's here and I'm secretly hoping she asks me what I think of the internship. I mean, it has no doubt been a valuable experience. Yet, we sit here and do nothing other than surf the net patiently waiting for google to show ANYTHING that pertains to the Knicks. Sure, we answer the phones, but if they want us to get a good experience out of this then they either need to give us more projects and responsibility or they need to let us have some time away from the office on days where there's nothing to do. It's just pointless for us to sit here all day reading the news when we could be doing something else. I don't want to come off as overly ambitious or ungrateful. I am so grateful for this experience and I value the relaxed pace of the office. However, at the end of the day it is very rare that I feel as though I've really done something of worth. That's why it is hard for me to write in this blog a lot of the time because every day tends to be the same. Hopefully Wednesday will be a little change of pace because I am accompanying one of my supervisors when he goes to monitor a photo and video shoot of one of the Liberty WNBA players. Also, there are very few weeks left of this. It's just that I wonder if they really need to keep us hidden in the pit long after we finish our work for the day, which is usually by 9 a.m.
