Paul: "It's weird, we are selling out tonight, but not tomorrow night."
Me: "Well, I can't speak for everyone, but you guys aren't doing any Halloween special. I know when I go out tomorrow, I'm going to do something Halloween themed. You guys should encourage people to dress up or give out candy."
Paul: "Yeah, yeah! That would be really great! We could give out free tickets to another show to the best costume!"
Me: "Yeah! Even just a little Halloween flavor would entice people."
Paul: "Let me tell John (the owner)."
(10 minutes later)
Paul: "John loved your idea, we are promoting costumes starting right now. Too bad you didn't think of this two weeks ago."
While the timing may not have been my best, I love that the people at my internship take my ideas seriously. I am given relevant tasks for PR with no one constantly critiquing me over my shoulder. Since Riot Act is smaller, I seem to matter more. I still do some clerical work, but everyone does. There is no hired office administrator, they can't afford one. Everyone pitches in for everything. It truly is a team effort.The best part is how much everyone believes in Riot Act, we are all fighting for the same thing, and as an intern this make my job extremely rewarding and exciting.
Sure, I'm an undergrad student, but they don't care. A good idea is a good idea.
