Meltdown day.

Tuesday was just so so busy. SO busy. We finally all the papers required for these three binders printed, punched, organized, and filed. And now it was time to put the materials inside. A little square of fabric was put on top of the picture of the material on the spec page, and then after all the material spec pages, we put a a large sample of each spec in their own sleeve. Labeling every sleeve with the correct key codes and making sure everything was where it was supposed to go took a long long time. Not to mention today was the day everyone decided that they needed to ask the interns to do things. One girl came up and handed me 15 different spreadsheets of paint samples she needed ordered, two things needed to be messengered, and there were still many Jakarta samples to track down by calling a million different vendors.

Not to mention these three boxes of pom-poms were brought up with many missing and we're supposed to order all the ones that are. Oh and organize the vendors from Bramson House that came in at twelve. And take down the presentation boards in the large conference room because a client is coming in tomorrow. AND match up these paint samples with something from the library that's close because Sherwin Williams doesn't make this particular color anymore. Sheeeeesh.
And Anna needs the bookcase redone with like a bazillion corrections in CAD. Grrr....
Soo....We had a small meltdown and freaked out for a bit.
But it was all good! And the vendor food was good. We had a much needed lunch break. :)
Liz came over and said that if anyone else comes up to us with things to do - to just say no. And that we already had enough to do and whatever they needed would have to wait until later. We like Liz. She was an intern for the past 3 months and just officially signed her contract to be a designer here about 2 weeks ago. So she knows what it's like to be in our position.
Let's just say I was soooo happy to leave today. We still have 1 more complete binder to make, but it's just for the firm to keep for their records so there's no deadline attached to it. We're mailing the other three we're about done with tomorrow. It will be nice because they take up so much desk and chair space.

Hopefully tomorrow will be better a bit less hectic.
