Day 8

Friday went by very quickly, and I loved it because I only went out once to drop off the swatch request I had made on Thursday! The rest of the time I got to stay inside! :D Emily had me doing random office work, such as printing out resumes from applicants for a patternmaker job as well as a managerial one to replace Emily. She was flustered and overwhelmed by all the calling and scheduling and rescheduling for interviews, etc. I was pleased when she went over each applicant and listed pros and cons, and why she liked one person better than another. It gave me great insight into what to do for future intervies. I also went down to the 5th floor to check on Janie and Richie's production of the garments. I also had to call various stores because Emily could not find one of their dress samples. To her great relief, I located it, at Emily's Boutique. I then filed all the past orders and made files for new clients. I organized a list of trunk show inventories and filed them too. Emily wanted me to call each store and do inventory so that she could have a neat list for each store when the new manager came in. We didn't have the time so I'll probably be doing that next week. Finally, I packed 2 dresses to ship, and the 2nd one I had to pad a size 5 mannequin to fit the measurements of the actual customer. Then I pulled the beautiful dress over the mannequin and checked the production before finally tissue-wrapping, bagging, and packing the dress. So, Friday was pretty uneventful, but at least I didn't have to walk so much! The weather outside was also so beautiful. Finally!
