Second day of work!

I love my job! Today was long, and tiresome-- but very fun! I got to work, and helped the designer label team with some more of their work (they have a deadline of 12 noon tomorrow). I continued on the project I worked on yesterday, and then went back to my private label team! I worked with the design/buying side of my team today. I actually got to sit in on a fitting session. I got to see the Fall 09' Howick line! It was AMAZING! They had a male model in there that was trying on the clothes to see how they fit! I got to give my input and everything, it was SO neat!... I really felt like i was working when I was in that room! But once playtime was over, I had to get back to work! My team didn't have much for me to do, so I went back over to the designer label team, and helped them allocate their warehouse merchandise! It was pretty neat! They gave me a list of the different articles of clothing and how many units of that clothing were left in the warehouse... they also gave me another list of the different stores they were sold in, and how well that particular brand was doing. I had to take that information and place the remaining inventory in to stores that I thought would be able to sell it! I sure hope I did it correctly! I have met a few really nice people, and I am anxious to go back to work on Friday! (I don't work on Thursdays, because I have my internship class on campus) This one guy seemed very interested in my coming to London for my internship-- he actually studied at F.I.T in New York! It is weird to me to think that people from London want to study abroad in the U.S.. Not in Abilene, of course-- though I can't for the life of me see why they wouldn't want to study there! But it was neat to hear about his experience... and he liked my clothes, so he was my favorite! Before I was leaving, he and some of the other team members invited me out to the "pub" for a few drinks, I declined-- but took a rain check!... As I was leaving the guy I met (I THINK his name was Mark, but I am not sure) asked me if I had seen Hairspray, to which he said that he liked my "BIG Texas Hair!" SEE DAD! MY HAIR IS CUTE! :)
I have had a few different people tell me that my accent is SOOO strong, and others tell me they don't even notice it... but today I felt like SUCH a hick! I had just gotten out of the shower, and my friend Ashley told me to come over-- I told her I couldn't come over, unless she wanted me to come over naked, as soon as I said that she just busted out laughing-- I didn't think what I said was THAT funny, until she starting quoting me... "I can't come over unless I come over 'nekkid' "!!!... I don't think I am ever going to hear the end of that! She has already called me twice since then, and asked me to say "nekkid"! Oh well, she is just jealous I'm sure! I mean, seriously-- who wouldn't be?
Well, in a nutshell-- I LOVE MY JOB! And, I love being a Texas Hick too!!!

Dear London Lady: Sounds like day 2 was great! Several thoughts. First, quit talking to boys! Second, no pubs. Third, it's not your hair that's cute. It's you [inside and out]. Fourth, absolutely no going places "nekkid". Lastly, I love you and miss you real bad.

Love your blog...especially all the pictures, trivia, and legends. Sounds like your job is going great. I am sooo proud for you. Sounds like you are wowing them! Anxious to hear about your Brighton Beach weekend. Think there is a British movie or series or something, but of course they won't let me watch it at SPI.
Love ya, nh/bb

Keep the hair big and the accent strong! (I agree with your dad, no boys and no going out "nekkid" no matter what the other Londoners are doing!) I want to see pictures of your flat! Love you much!!!
