MEDIA FRIENDLY
9am – get into office, have staff meeting. I raise the issue of my new printer/copier/scanner and point out it still hasn’t been installed. I also point out the lack of decent coffee pots etc for the reception area.9.40am – the facilities guy boots me off front desk and starts installing the new printer/copier/scanner. We all stand around like kids on Christmas morning, watching him rip open the box and haul out the sexy lump of Samsung technology.
10.15am – front desk is taken apart and all equipment unplugged and rearranged. There’s nothing I can do, so I wander around outside with a cigarette.
11am – I go into conference room and start setting up the coffee morning for the current students. Not only do I receive an array of exciting biscuits on silver trays, I am also presented with two shiny new silver coffee pots.
11.15 -11.45am – eat biscuits, drink coffee, admire new desk arrangements, chat to the students.
11.45 -12.20pm – hover near front desk while facilities guy reinstalls Windows on my computer. Answer a few phone calls. Have another cigarette outside.
12.30pm - call Rio cinema in Hackney about the Kurdish Film Festival and arrange some mutual advertising.
12.40pm – former student comes in to borrow a camera. I do all the paperwork and send him on his way.
12.55pm – get an email from CEO thanking me for booking out the camera to former student: he’s taking it to film the new Miss Dynamite video and will be crediting the company.
1pm – have lunch.
2.15pm -
2.30pm – organise screening for Big Issue film competition. Organise the prize we are putting up as our involvement in the competition.

It’s been a long day. And it ain’t over yet, no sir…
