I felt like the Austin equivalent of Andy from The Devil Wears Prada today at my intern. Sure I wasn’t chartered in a limousine around New York City to pick up skirts from Calvin Klein or scarves from Hermes, but I did pick up a big order of Tiff’s Treats for the office. It was strangely glamorous (the boots I was wearing helped this no doubt). It’s cool to realize that all magazines work the same way. Other interns like me are running errands, researching photos, and fact checking no matter how big or small the publication. My boss was so humble about it too! She kept emphasizing that it wasn’t a fun errand but that she really appreciated my help and the added bonus? I could take home all the leftover treats.
I like how I can see the city skyline on my drive back. I flip through magazines all day. I work with extremely talented designers. I learn. I flow text in magazine spreads. I link photos. I watch the magazine come together. I play with thousands of fonts. I dress up for work. It’s like the movies. The best part about my intern though?
When I arrive home and get to call James.
PS: Stay tuned for The Internship Diaries #2.
