Well, first off, this post is a couple days late. I got home from this event and just became horribly sick. I was in bed for most of the weekend so this is basically the first chance I've gotten to write about this experience.
Let's just say this wasn't exactly wasn't what I was expecting. I'm sure it's because it was wrestling and there wasn't that much for anybody to do (including full-time staff members), but I only did one thing the entire time I was at the arena. All I had to do was remove some "reserved for" signs from a few rows of seats towards the end of the event. I know I'm just an intern, but I would like a little responsibility at these types of things. Perhaps that will come with time.
I also think that my full-time colleagues need to understand the value of information. First off, when I got there, I had no idea where to go because nobody had previously told me. I wandered around until I finally found someone I knew. Secondly, nobody taught me how to use our walkie talkies. This may seem minor, but these walkie talkies were different than any other type I had ever used and while I finally figured it out, it would have saved me a lot of time if someone had taken a couple minutes and told me how to use them in the first place.
On the plus side, the wrestling event was rather interesting. As I said in one of my previous posts, I had never been to a wrestling match so it was an interesting experience. I don't quite understand all the rules yet, but I'm getting there.
