That hair is completely overrated. I have realized this many times before but I think this time it's serious. I will keep you posted on how this epiphany turns out...muahahahah :]
Thinking at work helps you realize these kinds of things. Actually, It's amazing what you learn at work.
I think I realized from day one that I would never EVER work in the fashion industry...well at least not on the corporate side of things. There is soo much detail and so many things that have to be taken care of, I really don't know how my sister does it. I seriously wish I had an ounce of her organizational skills and her ability to juggle things. That would be AWESOME, but so much for wishful thinking.
Here's a list I've compiled of interesting things i've absorbed from office life:
- People have very distinct voices. When you are focused and you are trying to avoid your supervisor you will definitely be able to detect their voice and hide or pretend like you're working.
- High school doesn't end when you graduate. Well at least the drama doesn't. The office is full of exciting "he-said-she-said" drama and every other kind of sneaky drama you could think of. Gladly I am only an intern and I get to observe the animalistic "Mean Girl" behavior.
- Most fascinating thing ever: meetings before meetings. This new specimen of meeting is the equivalent of a team huddle before a big game. Roles are assigned and everyone is on the same page and cheerleaders on the sidelines [i.e. me and whoever else is thankfully not attending the meeting] cheer "GO TEAM! GO!"
- Forwarding emails to people who have nothing to do with your email is the way to go for some people. For us normal people when we send out an email we expect a quick response, a yes or no answer, a file that we are waiting on to do URGENT updating or simply an answer to a question. To office people it is popular to do none of the above and either a. completely disregard the email and reference someone irrelevant to the subject to give you the answer b. claim to have already sent the file or posted it on the server when clearly you sending the email is the last resort to looking through the black whole that is the computer system or c. if the email receiver is of some sort of "management position" they will probably claim to have emailed you and then when you show them there's nothing, they make the new kid on the block learn how to create, post, email and fly to the damn moon instead of simply sending it themselves.
- Match.com for co-workers should definitely exist. When it comes to working environments I am definitely blessed with working with the, shall I say, AWESOME girls that I spend my Mondays and Thursday mornings with. I work on an incredible team and I am definitely a proud cheerleader - for every other unfortunate soul visit Match.com or better yet eHarmony, corporate office edition ;]
On a happier note i finally cut my hair and I will post those pictures eventually
