Almost friday.

Thursday! Almsot done with my 3rd week of the internship. Crazy!

Today was a day full of little mini tasks. Nothing too time consuming that usually would take up hours of the day. Bob (carpet pom man) came in this morning and said that the poms will be in tomorrow. I wish he would have just replied to our 3 different emails regarding them earlier this week. But oh well, at least they will be coming in finally.

I ordered some Moore & Giles leather samples for Anna. Which are all SO pretty. I would never use real leather on anything, but these are real nice to look at. Here's one that I ordered. Check it out! http://www.mooreandgiles.com/shop/mojave-brussels/ So beautiful right?

Later on in the day, Aijun had us continue to help with these CAD furniture drawings for the NY Palace documents. Since Laura was busy doing something else, I worked on this for her. She wanted the plan view of all these different kinds of chairs in the lobby to look more like the actual chair being used. So I redrew some of them in CAD and made sure they matched up with the correct dimension restraints.  A lot of them had to be adjusted because they weren't the correct width or depth in the file.

Another vendor came in today! I waited until he was gone thougth to get food, so I missed out on a wrap because they were all gone by the time I went in. Boo :(
However, there were still some salad and fruit bowls left so I took one of each. :)

I also took some wood samples that Anna wanted cut down to the maintenance people and had them cut. They really just do it as a favor to us and for free. So we always make sure we're super nice and grateful when we ask for favors like this. He didn't seem to annoyed when I asked... so I guess that's a good thing.

Probably the biggest/most eventful part of the day was when Lauren's iphone was stolen off her desk. Backstory time: So a HUGE 8 ft tall box was delivered to the firm and no one seemed to know what it was or could even it claim it as theirs. We eventually just opened it up and it turned out to be two huge rolls of fabric. Me and Lauren each grabbed one and drug them into the materials room (literally 10 steps down the hall) to ask Anna and Ellie if they were theirs or if they knew who ordered it. When we walked into the room, there was this strange kid in there with a rolling suitcase. He asked us where the bathroom was and we said it was out the door to the left. It was very strange...
Anyway, we asked anna and ellie if the fabric was theirs and it wasn't. So we walked right back out of the library down the hall to reception to put the two rolls back in the box. When we walked through the door to reception, the same weird kid was just standing there. He didn't ever say anything - but he saw us, started mumbling to himself, and then just walked out.
We thought again how strange this was and how odd he was acting. Well right after we put the rolls back in the box Lauren starts freaking out that her phone was missing off her desk. She left it out on top of her desk, went to the bathroom, and came back to find it missing. She apparently was in the bathroom while we were both in the library.
When you walk in the door to the firm, the reception greets you obviously, but there is a hallway immediately to your left which leads to the room where some of the designers work. And you can seen lauren's from reception.
In basically less than a minute this kid snatched her phone. Seriously?? We felt so responsible. Because of course RIGHT when we haul this carpet ten steps down the hall to the next room this stupid kid decides to go into the firm for who knows what reason. And then HAPPENS to walk down the hall to Lauren's unattended desk and snatch her phone. How is all this even possible?? He was crazy.

We gave a description to the doorman on the bottom level, but what's done is done now. Apparently this wasn't the first time this has happened in the office either. Courtney had hers stolen when she was interning at reception too.

BUT STILL. What a crazy crazy day.

After Alexandra's meeting with all the designers associated with the Dorchester project was over, I moved all their trays back into the library. I created a label for anna for a package that was going to Switzerland, and continued to work on Aijun's CAD furniture until it was time to go.

One more day till the weekend!
