Day 3

Today I was early as I promised. And no one turned up until 9.25! How rude lol. When someone eventually turned up, I was the one to get to light the scented candle in the clients bathroom. How lucky am I? Lol. The head intern, who had asked me to be early due to her appointed shopping trip had forgotten her credit card anyway and so it was all in vain.

Looking at the sacred list of Client meetings, always to be on the reception desk and the kitchen wall, it was a very busy day. The list was endless. I arranged to sit in on another buyer’s meeting- this time with a younger and trendier company brand. However after time passed it was evident that the clients were not going to show up. Even after phone calls to mobile and shop it appeared obvious they didn’t want to be contacted. So much for me organising my own development lol.

The food at lunchtime is divine. Just had to digress for a few minutes. We get to choose from three menu’s and so are spoilt for choice. One place is an Italian take away, one an Italian gourmet restaurant, and the other is a sushi take away. I have sampled all three and I must say I have an expensive taste. The grilled salmon and vegetables and salmon sushi were definitely my favourite. I am looking forward to sampling more luxurious food at the expense of my generous company during the following days.

I was sitting in the kitchen waiting desperately for an errand (how sad lol) when someone came in with a bag of clothes. These I found out, were clothes that had been returned from customers due to damage and so were seconds. Apparently staff and interns (more likely for obvious reasons) are allowed to take them providing they ask the returns manager. The girls went crazy and started to paw through the bag looking an easily fixable bargain. I wanted to pick out something for my sisters but they were either horrible or the wrong size. I even tried on some hemp trousers in the hope I could carry them off as men’s but although they fit around the waist and legs, they were too tight in the wrong places giving me a lady’s bottom and I’ll say no more!

Looks can be deceiving as the busiest day on paper, turned into the slowest and most uneventful. We were actually sent home at 5 which was lovely due to the sunshine. Inside we were oblivious to it due to air conditioning and small windows.

I have just been having a texted conversation with the head intern. I was asked to make a sign and leave it on the left over clothes; a message to the cleaners saying they could help themselves. She texted me at 9.45pm saying; ‘you didn’t put the message on the clothes did you? As permission needs to be given first’. I was told to, so of course I did! Well I have now agreed to go in at 8.30 tomorrow to wrestle the clothes from the cleaner’s firm grip. Above and beyond the call of duty. Happy times!
