Workin Girl

So I had my first few days of work this week, and they were very nice. On Monday I had my "interview" (and in typing that I found out the key boards are different here and the quotations marks are actually on the number 2 key and the little at sign (@) is by the enter key...weird). ANYWAYS, I got there and they were like oh hi! here is your desk I'll come tell you what your going to be doing. And so my job actually started a day earlier than I thought it would, which I was fine with. My work, DeKeyser (a fashion PR company that does like buying for designer labels like Rock and Republic and Bailey 44) is above a store called L.K. Bennett, and I actually have to walk into the store to get upstairs. (So not shopping for a few weeks has just got that much harder.) Well the company used to have a large studio over on New Burlington St., but the queen or someone decided that the street needed to be re renovated and so they had to move out temporarily, which they did right after Christmas. So everyone in the office is actually split up between my location and another place down the street and around the corner. My office is all the accounts and I'm not sure what the other building is. Well its small and is one room with maybe 10 people in it and then a floor downstairs I have yet to see. My boss is Dayana and shes very nice. I believe she is the buyer since I have been mostly filling out purchase orders and learning all the codes for things like dresses vs pants and creating these data card things from the stores. She said that on Monday and Tuesdays that's usually what she does but she has a meeting with someone who shes going to buy things from tomorrow and hopefully I will be able to come with her and see how that goes.
The only real story I have about my office is that this morning was the first time i had to show up early in the morning (yesterday they told me 11:00am) so I get there at 9:27 (since she told mt the office opens at 9:30) and the store was locked and so i decided to go explore a little around the shops and neighborhood, (which I found out that the Vogue House is like right up the street and I nearly pooped my pants about) so I sat outside watching all the Vogue people walking in and out of the building for a few minutes and went back and the store was still closed. I did this until almost 950 when I decided there must be another way they forgot to tell me about to get inside. So I decided that I would stand there and drink my coffee and watch for someone that I met yesterday to start walking up the street and I could look like I was just getting there too....well this woman comes up, walks right past me and just knocks on the store door...they unlock it and let her in. So I followed her...all the way up to the 5th floor where she turned around and asked me if I needed any help. And it turns out the the only one in the office that I didn't meet yesterday due to her being sick, was the woman who walked by me. So i felt kind of dumb. But that's not all my fault right?

Well that's all I really have about that. I think I could possibly still be jet lagged since last night I was about to pass out at 730 pm. Hopefully that will end soon and I will be grabbing a drink with some of my roommates and friends from the program tonight after my class ends around 6. I'm also sorry I cant put up more pictures, I am on a computer at the CAPA center...Ill put more up later. Miss everyone!
