Thursday was another long day, because Emily asked me to source red and pewter (dark grey) flowers. I ran around Manhattan again and could not find the dark grey. I also went to Malibu to pick up 5 yards of tulle, and excel to buy 2 zippers. It was crazy because there were rows and rows of zippers but some had lost their sample and I was at my wit's end trying to find that purple navy color but finally I did find it in one of the unmarked drawers, thank god! Back at the office, I also helped pack 4 dresses at a time to be packed into a trunk for a trunk show that Jamie would attend. Then I printed out yet more interviews and listened as Emily and Jamie pored over their records in search of how they were $4000 short. I was not exactly sure how it was resolved, but they first thought it was their production manager's fault of not turning in exactly what he was paid (the accountant left and Jamie did not have the skill or energy). Finally, I made Blank Store Invoice templates for each of the boutiques they sold to so that Emily would be able to easily enter in new invoices as they came.
Friday I ran inventory which led me to go to Excel to find just the right zipper color to go with each dress order and buy 2 more rolls of boning. I sourced again for the dark grey and found a decent one that could work. Jamie was not thrilled but there wasn't much either of us could do. I also filled out UPS forms to ship and made 4 boxes. Then Emily let me leave early because she couldn't think of anything else that she needed done. :)
I am taking the next two Thursdays off for working on all my final projects and tests. Then I shall leave for 2 weeks the last 2 weeks of May. Yay for some extra time!

i do love reading about internship experiences, so i guess that's why i document mine too, though the reminiscing and reflection for the future is probably good too.
