Hot hot thursday.

Guys it was so hot today. Like 100 with humidity. The little AC coolers and fans in our office couldn't have worked harder if they tried. And everyone all over nyc looked so sweaty. Gross.
There were a weird mixture of things to accomplish today. There were many things that the Jakarta team needed our help with. Stella needed a bunch of samples sent for immediately, pictures taken of all the samples used for the guestrooms, and things sent out.
And Jon had a random assignment for us as well. He needed us to prepare a powerpoint thing with all these pictures in it that he took in a penthouse. I guess its some upcoming project or something. But he gave me his iPhone to email all the pictures off of. And his password - which was his dads address apparently. Haha! He's funny. He calls me Utah. He finds it so weird that I'm in New York. We finished that up throughout the day. Usually assignments get finished in segments throughout the day due to us getting interrupped continually with other things.

And actually, now that I'm thinking about it - yesterday Winston (head principal architect) started talking to me about where I went to school and asked where I was going. Parsons, Pratt, and something else I can't remember. So when I said, 'no, Utah State University', he looked completely surprised. I thought interns from everywhere came to New York? Why is it so surprising that I'm from Utah? No one seems surprised when Laura says she went to school in Auburn... Weird.
Anyway, the pictures for Stella took a while because the camera kept dying and I could find a charger for the longest time. So frustrating. And when I finally sent her all the pictures she kept emailing me back saying certain ones didn't look right. So I'd retake a few of them and send them back. And she'd tell me again they didn't look right. So i'd do it again. Then she just had me photoshop some of them. SO PICKY. But some of the fabrics I was taking a picture of just wouldn't show their colors well in a picture. One in particular was giving me grief. It was dark navy but looked grey in the camera. Stupid thing. I  gave up and photoshopped it blue.

Laura was helping in the library as I was finishing up the pictures so I moved on to work on the firms material spec book by myself at the front desk. I did that for a while and then worked on ordering all these pom poms that we were out of and needed to order.

We ended up staying up way late tonight because we actually had to create our own 30"x 30" box to ship these presentation boards in that were going to Jakarta and it took a while to combine two different boxes to make one. Anyway, we didn't end up leaving till almost 7. EWWWW. Hopefully never again. The office was so darn hot by then and I wanted out.
And now its Friday tomorrow! YIPEE. Never before have I looked so forward to weekends. I get to SLEEP in! And not spent all day in an office. Hooray.
Oh and I'm starting to realize how sassy people can be in New York. I called Fedex at some point this evening before we resulted in making our own 30" x 30" box. I called to see if they had one that size. And its Fedex - so you'd assume they'd have boxes right? Because they ship things EVERYWHERE. But no. I called them and asked if they had one that size and he goes... what kind of a box? So I say just a cardboard box that I can ship a presentation board in. And he says, "Excuse me? We don't sell boxes."
WHAT. Hahaha. Just the way he said it, made it sound like I had asked me if he had a jar of salsa in the store. He replied with such sass it was funny. Plus, if you already know you don't sell boxes, which is ridiculous, why do you even bother asking what kind of a box I need??
Phew. Anyway, I was just amused by this man.
Friday here we come!
