Week 2...

So its been a pretty good week!!! Started off on monday getting called into work... cause most everyone had off columbus day, but they needed help and I didn't mind... plus I didn't have to go in till 1 so all was good. Got to finish up from what i was doing over the weekend dyeing. woo hoo... ; ) then did misc. things to help them send out the samples... which was supposed to be there night... but didn't actually happen... (haha and they said no one misses a deadline in school). Tuesday was.... take a guess.... MORE dyeing.. but this time by the end of the day I was so sick of it i didnt want to look at dye again... plus I was there after lunch for like 3 hours trying to get the dye back to what i used for the sample that had to be approved, but i accidently put too much purple dye so i had to go out and get more blue dye and start the process all over again. and by the time i was finishing up Rebecca walked by and all the sudded my supervisor came in and asked to see my first sample... turns out that it wasn't the same and the one i had was too darkj... ugh! so basically i tried to lighten it but it wasn't working and by this all happening it was time to leave. now normally i woulndn't mind staying and trying to finish or fix it... but of course the one day that i had plans to go out with the gang from school, this HAD to happen. eventually left and met up with Mei Ling and hopped on the train to meet up with everyone downtown. we ended up going to this place called solas, and they had some good happy hour prices and it was going on for another 1 and half soe we stayed for a few drinks and had to go eat something... me whit jes and mei ling all went to a lil pizza shop and sat for i think atleast an hour or more just talking and catching up. but i feel so old when it was starting to get late... and im only talking 930 10ish late and i was doing nothing but yawning... boo! so i had to break up the party cause i still had to be at work @ 9... along with my 45 min train ride and getting ready i wanted to get to sleep... Wed, i had to undo some sweater seams... thankfully i was occupied when Kale the textile designer asked me if i was busy... obviously holding the sweaters and trying to get the seam didn't seem as if i was busy... But she asked laura who gave me the job if it was important and she did say yes... so i didn't have to help her correct the too dark fabric... but it does kinda suck they just basically threw away what i did the night before... but i sure didn't want to do it all over again so i was ok for being busy!!! later i did a few errands, made some copies and helped with embroidery(mostly a typical day). I got to actually sew on the embroidery for the going away present KAte was giving the intern who was leaving... it was actually fun... i seem to be getting more and more interested in embroidery. there is just soooo much you can do with some beads! and let me tell ya.... they got LOTS of beads!!! Thursday.... ahhh thursday.... i don't think i did much of anything BUT make copies... seriously!!! I had to make 3 copies of stacks and stacks of paper for them and then put together "the packet" that needed to be sent to Rebecca by the end of the night... seriously.... it was ALL day in front of that damn printer... grrr... Today was ok... had to run an errand and ended up walking down the wrong street looking for a shop and realized after walking back and forth a few times... and then the store was almost the size of a hallway and lots of lots of people... it was a bit annoying but cool cause it was tons of metal... and i had to get this saw thing for making some beads... made a few copies, filed some research for fall and spring shows, then helped with a design for a sweater kinda... just really drew on the patch lines and she approved or disapproved and i fixed them... but we will see if rebecca likes it =)
for now we are trying to figure what to get into tonight... some bar down the street... a band show or who knows....
for now still loving the city and the fun non-paying job....
