Second and Third day of work and other fun happenings

Wednesday, my second day at KC:
I did more button mashing on the computer all day. I did more entering purchase orders and also learned how see our year-to-date (ytd) on accessories and shoes we've been selling as a whole, but also by styles and colors. It was kind of neat. I basically had to look up info on a particular class, style, and/or color and enter it on excel on a distribution sheet. Nothing super exciting, but I kind of like being on the other side of retail. I especially like not having to deal with customers!
On Weds., all the interns received an email from HR about the KCR showroom needing a replacement footwear model for two important meetings next Tuesday. Samples are a size 6, and this little lady is definitely a size 6. If chosen, you obviously got to sit in on the meetings, but also got a free pair of shoes! So of course I went for it. I met up with the sales rep and tried on a bunch of shoes... which by the way were the most comfortable shoes ever. Then she told me she'd email me and let me know if they needed me. As I guessed, they ended up going with a professional model :( gah, why pay someone when you could've had me for free?! I figure it's because I have tattoos on my feet. oh well! It was still AWESOME to be considered for something like that.

Fun on Weds. night:
Two of my roommates and I went to the mini-gym in our building and worked out for a bit. There was already a guy in there running like mad on a treadmill. He was kind of my inspiration/competition while I was running. So after I complete a few miles, I was done. While I was stretching in the hallway, he definitely took it up more than a few gears. I really thought he was going to fly off of the treadmill into the glass that was in front of me. haha. We all ended up chatting for a few. It turns out he's training for a marathon. oh, man.
There are 3 other doors next to our apt and we have yet to meet anyone, so we decide to be social. I went in our apt to get a jacket and my roomies start beating on the door 2 over from us (a couple guys live there). It took forever for anyone to come to the door, but eventually we made 3 new friends. haha. We talked one of them into hanging out with us on Thursday night and Friday morning.
After chatting for a few, we went back inside and hung out with the rest of our roommates in the living room. I really lucked out. I have pretty great roommates... so far :)

Thursday, day 3 of work:
I did more of what I did on Tues and Weds, but I also learned how to create tables in our software. I definitely took 2 full pages of notes on how to do it too. I did more fill orders for the lady that's in charge of accessories. Gosh, I wrote all of what I did down, but I left my notebook at work. I'm catching on very quickly, so I'm really excited about that.
In a way, work is a bummer. It seems like none of the interns are fashion majors and that's really eating at me. I know I wouldn't have landed an internship in construction, that's not my area of expertise. I guess it's like I have enough people to compete with for a job, now I have all these non-majors, some of which have no clue about anything fashion other than getting a new designer handbag. I know fashion involves business, but I guess it never clicked in my brain that I'd be competing with non-majors until now. Life's not fair, but come on! Tomorrow I'm not going to wake up and want to be Donald Trump or on Wall St. haha. I suppose today I'm over it. O my though, someone asked me what my major was about and what I do. ugh.

Thursday fun!:
After I got home from work, 3 of my roommates, the boy from next door, and I went to The Pour House to watch the hockey game. I stuck around for a few, but then headed to the Hungarian bakery to meet up with Celeste. I must say that bakery is amazing!! I've walked passed it quite a few times, but knew it wasn't a good idea to go inside and look around. So, Celeste and I caught up on what's been going on since the runway show. I told her all about work and we chatted about my feelings with the non-majors. She really cheered me up. I think I was just having "one of those days." Celeste told me about her crazy fashion past and I'm even more impressed by her than before. She's had really great success so many times, I hope I can achieve greatness too one day. We also talked about how we both need creativity in our lives. I would love to do another internship in design or visual. I like my internship a lot, and I imagine it's only going to get better, but I need creativity and not so much business. This internship is definitely going to help me decide where I want to go with my career. Who knows, distribution might really be my calling, time will only tell.

Friday!:
I don't work Friday's, so one of my roommates, the neighbor guy, and I headed down to Rockefeller Center to see Dave Matthews Band play for the Today's Show summer concert series. We left our apt at 5 am. I wish it wouldn't have been raining. There was definitely some characters there. Some guy that looked like Andy Dick was saying all kinds of craziness and a girl told him to calm down. His response to the girl was "I can say whatever I want, this is America!" hahaha. Turns out the girls and her two friends were still wasted from last night. Boy, were those girls loud and more annoying than that guy. My favorite thing that guy said other than "this is America," was "reindeer!" He was swearing up a storm and then it dawned on him that children were around so he began saying "reindeer" instead.
We were behind the stage, so we didn't get to see much of anything. It was still really awesome to be there.

Not sure what I'm going to do with the rest of my day yet. Tomorrow we're going to do a 5K for Autism in Central Park :)

That's all for now.
