The filming of Beat Bobby Flay has closed down as all of the episodes for the next season, actually double season, have been filmed and are now in the process of being edited. While this development takes away from some of the fun of my job it opens new doors to other aspects I did not realize were a part of the job.
As one would assume there are tons and tons of props used for the set of Beat Bobby Flay, such as plates, chair, tables, artwork etc. One may not go further to think what is done with these props after they are of use. Underneath the RockShrimp Productions office is the prop closet where all of these sorts of things are stored during the off-season. This past week I have been spending a lot of time in the prop closet, or as I like to call it the dungeon (due to a lack of AC) putting away various props to save for the future when they may be needed. It has been grueling work, but hey, somebody has to do it!
In addition to my prop closet refurbishing duties I also have become a sort of handyman around the office. The company is in the process of hiring another marketing manager, James, to help Shai with the influx of business she has been handling. In her previously bare office James wanted a big white board hung as well as a big bulletin board on his walls in order to carry out future business. Thanks to my extensive (zero) background in woodworking I was in charge of this.
I would say I did a pretty knock-out job!
What do you think?
I'd be willing to bet that you have some background as handyman... Stellar job!
ReplyDeleteIn all seriousness you raise a good point, there's always more work to be done behind the scenes. Even though it may be boring and monotonous it's all good experience and there's always something to be learned. Just keep up the good attitude and enjoy the rest of your internship!
I agree with Andy... both about you being humble about your woodworking skills and the point that you raised. Doing random tasks comes with the territory of being an intern, but even as a full time employee you never know when some odd job will come up that you have to do and it keeps you on your toes. Now you can maybe even put handyman on your resume!
