Monday, 16th November

I turned up to Wisdom at 9:00 am on Monday. I met Mark again, and he took me on a tour of the place. He introduced me to his staff as we walked.

It surprised me that the workplace was so small. I had expected it to be in an office building. Instead, it was in what seemed to be the bottom floor of a townhouse, re-modelled to suit their needs. I later found out that he rents out the upstairs rooms. There were also about 10 (and no more) employees in the organisation. Mark did mention part-time employees, but I never saw any of them.

When I arrived, builders were in the office, setting up another desk (in an attempt to have more workers in a crowded space!). I was introduced to Scott, who seemed to be one of two second in commands. He talked to me and gave me a briefing, and asked me to come up with some ideas.

I did. They were rubbish.

Then they let me watch the employees at work, which was really interesting. I got introduced to a woman called Jo, who was designing a website for a client. Then I got introduced to a man named Joseph, who was editing an ad for Honda city motors.

Finally, I went back to Scott and told him my ideas, and he very politely didn’t laugh at me.

It was a fascinating day all in all, and I very much looked forward to the next day.
