Day 3 Wednesday 14th April

Today was the start of my week getting harder. So far I have been going to bed pretty late, around 3am because I just have so much work to finish when I get home. I then have to get up really early and this is starting to wreak havoc on my performance - though I'm trying to to let it show.

So today I went to the Jaeger press day for their a/w 2010 collection. They are also releasing a new collection for 20 somethings called, Boutique. I went to this by myself the moment I arrived in town and had a hell of a time trying to manage the camera/ notepad and pen thing all by myself. It was completely different to the one the day before, a lot more sophisticated and with an older audience. Some of the women there had come from big magazines and newspapers, so it was a little intimidating. Nonetheless I got on with what I had to do, talked with a few of the sales staff and PR folk about the collections, gave out some cards and received a few and went on my way. Of course I received a goody bag, containing a piece of jewelry from the collection and a £100 gift card to spend at Jaeger!

Once I was back at the shop I had to write up the reports of both the press days I had attended so far and finish some of the work I had been doing for Dia Boutique. The thing is I was starting to get really tired about the afternoon so work began to slump. I noticed this was a common effect with many of the girls working there. Not exactly a healthy way to live/ work but I guess that's magazines. Still, I'm enjoying what I'm doing so it doesn't bother me. The shop is having poor internet connection so it makes working there difficult. A lot of the time we have to go sit in Starbucks to work on the internet - unfortunately it's because the shop is borrowing the internet for a shop next door, and with so many of us using it at the same time, it pretty much shuts itself down. Not great working environments.

Still not been able to make a start with my research question as I've been far too busy!
