The Wrong Couch

Today was... interesting. I woke up at 7am and got ready. The internet was down for the hour and a half before I needed to leave. This should have been my first sign that it was going to be a difficult day.

I made it to the Warner Brothers Lot without any problems. I'm a much better six lane driver than I anticipated. It was really cool having to stop at the gate and show my idea so they could get a visitor pass made for me! After a few minutes they let me in and showed me where to go. I parked my car and walked by a bunch of StarWagons. Something was going on because there were a lot of people in hospital gowns. It was fun to see!

Once I made it to the office I went straight in. I found Steven and he told me to go wait on the couch. So, I sat down on this really nice white couch in the Thunder Road Office. A few minutes later he came in and said "Um... could you go wait on the couch?" I guess he meant the one in the LOBBY out of the glass doors. The one I was on was his boss's couch. It was a funny way to start the whole process.

So, I went and sat on the right couch and discovered another intern was waiting out there. By now I was right on time, but as with all meetings this one got started a little late. I sat in the lobby for quite awhile, but I definitely didn't mind. Everyone was smiling at me and saying hi. I wonder if every one is so nice because they never know who might be sitting in the Lobby? It was fun. I know my breathe caught every time someone opened a door!

Anyway, the point of the story is that this business changes in the blink of an eye. Once I got into the office and had my first meeting it turns out I don't actually have an official internship and this was actually more of an interview. I guess there are a lot of interns this year (with way more connections than I have) and a limited number of spaces. So, I was given a script to read and asked to get coverage written and sent to him as soon as possible so that he can figure out what to do. He did tell me to look at other options, so if you know of anyone who needs a good intern....

Don't worry, though. I applied for other things like crazy today and I will do my best to write the most amazing coverage anyone has ever read! Missouri will not be thwarted! : )
