The office is filled with clothes and where I work they do all their design and production ihe head office I'm working in so while I'm sitting at my desk I can look up and watch the designers cutting out the material and putting them on dummies and waiting for them to get apporoved and sent out to mass prouction.
The entire office is open plan so its desk after desk of shoes and jeans and jewellery.
You can see the web designer team putting the final touches on the clothes, designers pinning dresses together, the buyers throwing around samples of material they like and calling up suppliers to complain the labels are wrong...and then you have me, sitting at my desk looking at all the numbers....look at how many we sold, how many we ordered and how will actually turn up (you'd b amazed at how you order 300 and when the delivery comes they only give you 200)
Anyway, I finally have my own desk, the person above me has given me all this work to do because before I came she had to do it all herself and theres a bit of a backlog in the administrative parts....Long story short this is what my desk corrently looks like ------>
Okay I may be exxagerating a little bit...but there is atleast 8 ring binders packed withe every of boyswear they are selling this season and since now is sales time all the prices have to be manually changed in the ledgers, base and the spreadsheets, which is my job for the day.
Overall I'm doing okay....I did have the awkward moment in the canteen where I was stood there with my tray off food looking around for someone to recognise and I must admit I felt like the geeky kid on their first day at school. I eventually found the person I was with who had went off to find us a seat. I like the job I just dread the commmute
Lots of love
