2: A Day At The Office

The last time I'd gone to do mentorship house, I was asked to "bag dresses", meaning I just had to put dresses in these fancy bags that would later be picked up and shipped out to stores. Believe me, it isn't as easy as it sounds. I bagged a total of 200 dresses/gowns and it took me a total of three and a half hours to do just that. So you can just imagine how tedious the task is. At the time, it didn't seem like a great task to do, but since I'm only allowed to do so much at the office, I wasn't going to complain. I'm not even going to lie, my arms were killing me the rest of the day and the day that followed. However, I was told just today by my mentor that these dresses were some of the ones I'd bagged. My fingers made contact with dresses/gowns worth more than my closet. Of course I was incredibly careful and I already knew that these weren't cheap, but these were expensive. Since they're from the signature collection, they're worth quite a pretty penny.

 Today, we also got some new fabric samples in. There weren't many, but I felt like a child opening up gifts on Christmas morning. Although it was just a box of scraps of fabrics, these were new possible fabrics that would be used for the next collection they would be working on. As much as I would love to post some of the example fabrics, I can't because they're "in the works" and I'm very limited on what I can and cannot post.

We also watched an ad for something for the website and me along with everyone else in the office spent more than fifteen minutes trying to guess whether or not "slenderizing" was a word. Indeed, it is a real word. After I confirmed that it was a real word, I was offered a donut. I was incredibly excited about that donut (and the cool cow print napkin they sat it on), so I posted a picture of it. 

All in all, today was a rather eventful day and I was incredibly proud of myself because I spent a great deal of it communicating 

with those in the office and I'm not typically one to speak. I was even 

congratulated for my work ethics today because I was socializing 

and I finished double the amount of work I typically do in less time.
