Comm Res 160 Journal Entry No. 8

I came to office a few minutes late.

I continued finishing the marketing database Ms. Tracy gave to me.

What I have to do was create different sheets per categories (e.g. new product/launch, for price negotiation, co-branding, etc.). Then, I also have to create different books for different channels. For example, I need to create a book for QSR 1, QSR 2, COCO, Visayas, Mindanao, PCBS etc. although I'm not really sure what these codes really mean. I just did it because my other co-interns were busy with their other task. And that decision to accept the task probably is one of the wrongest decision I made. The task was really difficult I think my head was separated into two.

It's hard to come up with other categories and identify them if they fit to these categories set. I had a hard time doing it plus there was a shooting going on this day that causes distraction to us. They were shooting a TV segment entitled "Cooking with the Stars" in the kitchen area and we saw celebrities like Jolina Magdangal, Suzie Andrada-Abrera, the rumored PNoy's girlfriend Grace Lee and Heart Evangelista.

I was not able to finish what I was doing. I decided to focus on my part while our boss Sir Vic gave other tasks to my co-interns. Social Networking Sites like facebook, twitter, plurk are not allowed in the office plus we don't have access to the office's internet. If we want to look for something, we need to use our boss's desktop. Good thing I sometimes bring with me my broadband in case I need to search something (or to keep myself entertained when I'm really bored).

In the end I was not able to finish it. Ms. Tracy gave me the deadline and asked me if I can give it tomorrow. I planned to stay up until late, sleep a little and work with this thing when I get home.
