As I returned to my internship after a wonderful 5 days off, which I was lucky enough to spend at home at my family, I quickly learned that most people who worked at Riot Act got a glorious 24 hours off.
In the world of a new business, especially a business in the entertainment industry, days off are few and far between. Riot Act had a comedian performing the Friday after Thanksgiving and had to promote that comic all week to help ticket sales. As a small business, everyone was working around the clock just to be able to take the holiday off.
It's just a reminder that when I graduate in May, I will no longer be a student with allocated time off. PR waits for no one, and that's what is so exciting about the job. Luckily Riot Act has avoided any major crisis's, but that doesn't mean there isn't always work to be done.
Up this week is another event on Thursday for Yelp and another comic to promote for the weekend. I am well rested and ready to hit the ground running.
