Two Sides to a Coin. part 7

I had officially gotten over my dislocated toe by this week which was good because I had a fair bit of walking to do.

Once again my first task of the day was to do the write up for the Around the Grounds which by now I was getting quite good at, even Chris commented on that he had less to edit this week and that it was my best so far which is always a good sign.

Due to it being the first week of holidays Football West kept up its annual school holiday Football Clinics held every holiday. I got to get out of the office to take photos of the clinic and will most probably end up writing the piece on how it went. It was a good little break from the computer screen, and I'd never really used a large high tech camera before it was a new experience for me and I found it quite easy and fun to be honest.

After writing another press release I was asked to help out in cleaning out the back storage area, as Chris somehow managed to explain that me cleaning was relevant to Public Relations, the lesson was presentation is everything. Mind you it wasn't just me by my self there were other helping as well but I was quite glad when it was over.

My first day back after getting my toe dislocated, and I was back into the swing of things. Starting it off was the usual around the grounds spiel about the upcoming weekend's match ups in the All Flags State League, and the finishing pre-season Night Series League.

My mentor Chris also gave me a book to have a look through whilst there, basically it was all about style of writing. Chris went through the book and pointed out where and what Football West uses in terms of style of writing and how I could implement it into the work he was assigning me.

I went through the book a bit further after finishing work, Chris allowed me to keep it till next week. I found the book to be a lot like the text book we needed in the Edit Texts unit in the Certificate IV, but personally I found it to be easier to read opposed to the Cert IV book. The book was if I recall correctly, Style.
