Day 10:

The weather in New York today was very lousy. It was raining and windy all day long. I really enjoyed being inside today because it was very cold outside.

Today I worked on a few different things. But when I wasn’t working, I was learning about the different departments in the store. I took a trip down to the first floor to learn about the jewelry. I walked downstairs to check out all the different kinds of jewelry and their prices. I also looked on the second floor on all of the miscellaneous products such as picture frames, back gammon boards, china, glasses, wallets, ties, dresses, jackets, shoes, etc. I was trying to see if there was anything I could possibly purchase, but there wasn’t. I couldn’t even buy a pen because the cheapest one was $500.

Today for work, I went back into the stock room to go through more and more clothes with the public relations assistant. We got an email sent in the mail requesting cashmere cardigan sweaters for a photo shoot. I had to go in the back room to look and see if this was in stock, but unfortunately it wasn’t and we weren’t able to send anything out. Today, I also sat with the logistics manager to see how the inventory process works.

The HIGHLIGHT of my day today, was when I got to see Bette Midler!!!! I walked into the jewelry department, and there she was, purchasing a piece of jewelry! For those of you who don’t know her, she is very famous and some of her movies are “Hocus Pocus” and “First Wives Club”. She turned around right as I was walking by and smiled and said hi to me! It was very exciting!!
