Super Busy

I worked all day, with limited breaks. Not cool.

I tried to get in contact with various bookshops in the city about distributing this glorious magazine, but I didn't get to talk to any buyers. There are a lot of used bookstores in the city and they don't distribute magazines. Just thought that I would like to pass that information on to you.

I'm going home now.

Dear readers,

I'm sorry to inform you, but this is my last anonymous blog post as my last day as a zingtern was Friday. All I can say is, it's been a hell of a run.


Anonymous Intern

long week

And the week finally comes to a close.

The preparations for the launch party went up to the last minute (as per usual), but everything somehow came together (well, except for the clouds of cheese...). The stupid Powerpoint movie only worked so-so. It was such a big file that it crashed a couple of coputers, but we finally got it going. Except then about three quarters of the way through, the computer froze and crashed. Ugh. I hate computers.

A ton of people showed up, and everybody seemed to have a lovely time. We all talked up the magazine and I told some random people to keep an eye out for it on the news stand very soon.

Also Devon's food was super tasty.

Now it is time to go home and take a nice, long nap before hunkering down in my books for the next 60 hours straight (maybe with breaks for sleep and/or eating).

I will never get a man..

..because today I learned I can't iron. I never thought that this internship would make me feel like less of a woman. I was given the task of ironing sheets today and thought it would be a breeze. I was wrong. It was one of the hardest things in my life (which tells you that I have had a pretty easy life thus far). I struggled with the ironing and felt my femininity threatened.

Now I'm feeling pretty manly. Not really, because I'm not obsessed with the size of my genitals and my forearms are fairly weak.

That wasn't fair of me to judge the sexes so unfairly. Oh well.

Here's how I'm making money next. We'll see if that pans out.

thursday day

Today I turned a vintage Pucci dress into a swimming pool cover through the magic of Photoshop. I would post the picture, but the design computer is broken, so I can't put the picture on the database (and the design computer can't connect to the internet). But it looks swanky regardless!

We want to e-mail launch party invites with special, love-filled letters to writers/editors/press. So I fiddled with the database for a while, trying to fill in missing e-mail addresses, but most magazines do not list either the masthead or real contact information online. Soooo frustrating... I will have to send mass e-mails tomorrow asking for the addresses for specific people, and see if that gets me any luck.
