Day ten started with a productive meeting with the head of programming for the iPlayer. We talked about my career aspirations which helped me clarify what I want to do. Since starting this internship, it has become quite clear to me that I like working in a relatively small team on a product. I have a rather fickle nature, so project based work is ideal for me. Also, I grew up playing team sports so I feels comfortable working towards a goal with a team at my side. The rest of the day was spent researching superfans for the country-specific launch of a show.
Day eleven started with the weekly team meeting in one of the meeting rooms upstairs. It was nice to see that my boss presented one of my ideas to the team. I can’t go in to details, but it revolved around how we will be using Twitter for promotion. In the early afternoon the office became abuzz with talk about a large fire nearby at a milk factory. Because of the size of the fire, and the risk of exploding gas tanks, two sides of the BBC complex were cordoned off…the sides I walk home from. Then the BBC building beside ours was evacuated, and because it was so cold outside, many of the employees came into our building – it was packed. I eventually had to leave 15 minutes early to get to class as I had to take a long route to the tube station. The area looked like a dystopian warzone as the chemical smoke settled amongst cold damp buildings.
