Another day at the Sydney Opera House

Yes, another day at the Sydney Opera House!

I only have two more working days at the most iconic building in Australia, I'm slightly depressed. These past two weeks have been hectic. Last week I was preparing for my co-worker's leave and this week I'm covering for her leave. I'm doing the regular workload that I would do on a daily basis while covering half of her workload AND managing the April School Holidays!

I'll start with our Well Being campaign. Remember when I told you guys about having to be a yoga model? Well lucky for me, the shoot got rained out so the yoga instructors ended up rescheduling and doing a shoot of their own - no downward dog for me. Our fitness classes are offered 7-8am Monday-Friday. I signed up for this weeks Monday and Wednesday class - Monday I worked to sign people in so I came in an hour early. Turns out, Sunrise at 7, the news program was filming a posed yoga class at 6am as well as the High-Intensity Class at 7am. So, I show up at 6am, ready to work, and turns out I have to join the posed yoga class (front and center, no less) for them to film us and put us on live television! It was actually a really cool experience to see this side of marketing, I've never been a part of a photoshoot or a filming for the news. Wasn't my best angle, but it was still a cool experience!

As for work, my brochures were put on hold because there's a new law in Australia about clarity with pricing. Apparently, Australian Government passed a law to require businesses to be 100% clear with pricing no "starting as low as...". I actually really appreciated this! Being a consumer, having the honest pricing displayed helps me make more informed decisions. But they are to go to print next week, don't worry - my boss said she'll mail me the prints so I can add them to my portfolio :)

My school holidays campaign is going swimmingly. It's my first campaign so I didn't really have an idea how to track the sales, what to do to increase sales, how to manage the website and apparently we're scheduling a photo shoot! I found out this week that the Kid's team wants to have new photos for this school holidays, so there's some last minute planning to schedule a photo shoot for this Saturday (scary because it's already Thursday). Anyway, the campaign is going well, a few bumps but overall I'd label it a success half way through.

Oh yeah - I was able to see one last show last week! Total I've seen 6 shows at the Sydney Opera House in 3 months! How crazy is that? I'm not ready to talk about the fact that I only have 2 work days left...we can talk about that next week. For now, I'm living in the moment and enjoying each day - so I'll think about leaving next week.
