Today I arrived 20 minutes early, and got right to work filing packing slips and pick slips for whole sale companies and clients. I filed them by the name of the company if it was whole sale and by the brides name if it was a client. After I completed that task I commenced on my mission of returning dresses, in the fashion industry it has been understanding that companies will buy products from well known companies in order to use an idea they like or an idea that is working better than one they currently have. It is a tool of inspiration in a lot of ways but on the other hand this is also how one creates knock0ffs. So I spent over an hour returning dresses. the first store was Macy's in Herald Square (which I already dislike that particular macy's) it did not help that 4 different departments told me 5 different areas in which to return said garments. I rode as you might imagine the escalator quite a bit. But finally when I found the correct department I had to wait in line for half an hour. My biggest dislikes of that particular store are that they categorize it by designer, you can't return garments just anywhere (which is what I found out today) it has to be in the department in which they were bought and they need to work on their customer service. But that is why I avoid shopping there if at all possible. Flagship store hah! It's the biggest headache I ever got from a retail store.

The other store I went to was Anthropologie in Rockafeller Center, which was not a headache and very pleasant. After I finally got back to JY, I ate lunch and relaxed for a bit. All the running around made me kind of tired and hot. While on my lunch break I did begin looking up things to do around town. I then filed cut slips and swatched (which I am improving on) I also filed Pick ups for dresses and when there was nothing really left for me to do at 5:30 I stacked toilet paper, paper towels, and napkins in the employee bathroom. The last thing I did today was begin to pull the past date folders which are the folders of orders that have already happened, meaning that the wedding day has passed. I got through A-H but i still have to finish them on thursday. Debra is also giving me a project on thursday (which i can't quite remember what it is at the moment, mayb it will come to me again later) Rita also wanted to start me on a project but couldn't quite get it organized today.

It was a busy tuesday but a good tuesday. :) I like being busy.
