Unconventional workspace(s)

I have been very fortunate and grateful to been offered an internship position in Coogee Beach Surf Life Saving Club. Not because I can *finally* find an internship placement, but because it is an area in which I know I am familiar with and also a field in which I am passionate in. I knew from day one of enrolling to this PR internship unit, that I want to have a placement in which I am passionate in; not just another placement to gain the marks and graduate in. Even though my current job as a state teams manager and project officer at Rowing WA can probably count as an internship placement, I want to open up my opportunities for the future.

Similarly to the current job, it is a sporting organisation in which dedicated volunteers and part-time staffs is the main key to the success of this entity. This means that mainstream work-spaces (read: cubicles) is not an option and you will have to do tasks in which are not in your job description. For some, this may be troublesome... but not for me. Am up for the challenge. I guess my current job and other past experiences have set me up for this mentality, in which I am extremely thankful for. Over the past couple of weeks, I find myself trying to juggle both of these jobs and also other club committee stuff that I am involved in. If I say it has been a smooth sailing week, then I will be lying. However, I have managed to find a way in which can satisfy all parties (and bosses) - with the permission of supervisors and due to the limited space in my internship placement venue, I have been working away and reporting back on a regular basis. A lot of people have recommended me to do my internship tasks whilst I'm at work, as this may seem as the most practical thing to do. However, I have committed that if I am at work, I'm going to focus on my job and nothing else. This leads to me digging deep into my creativity zone. Snapshots of some of my workspaces over the past couple of weeks (or follow me on twitter here):

University Abacus Lab - free high speed internet and arguably comfortable chairs. perfect. 

Balcony - away from the six months old puppy

Dining table - because who needs to eat anyways?

As you can tell by now, it's not exactly your mainstream office space cubicle. By working from different coffee shops, home office and Abacus labs, I have been able to do both jobs at the same time. If I ran out of energy or focus on one of the jobs, I bounce off to the other without feeling guilty nor inefficient. A few coffee shops have been transformed into my workspace and meeting spaces. A lot of long blacks have been and waiting to be consumed.

First week down. Two bosses to impress. Three more weeks to go. 10000000 more unconventional work spaces waiting to be set up. Any tips on how to multitask?
