this week

so after my strenuous first week of work, my roommate Nikki just had to get out of the city and to the mall for a weekend gettaway in Jersey. ironic.

but here we are peanut M&Ms in hand, in a hotel just across the street from a big mall, AMC movie theater, and the one and only Chili's Bar and Grill (the classic american restaurant nowhere to be found in NYC). we are vegging out watching trashy tv and sleeping late in the morning.

well i didnt have to start working in jersey yet. basically what is happening is that i am getting this job because they are moving this laser printing dept to Jersey from the Soho store. so the offices are not actually finished with all the construction so that we can move. sometime within the next 2-3 weeks they will actually be doing the move and then we will get to set up our new office out in jersey. this should be interesting.

i did meet my immediate upper this week. her name is michelle, she is 40, divorced, 3 kids, 11 yr old boy, 9 and 7 yr old girls. She is very nice with alot of design experience, and she lives in jersey. i am really looking forward to working with her. they have not hired another person yet, because things are so slow right now after the holidays, and they are wanting to get us settled out there. so thats that.

things have been going well. i have had a very easy week working about 10:30-3 with an hour lunch. so not much more work this week, but maybe next week. i have been able to jump right into to InDesign the program we use, and printing invitations and stationary has begun. i am excited about the job now that it has started, so now i am just wondering how this commute is really going to work out.

well thats all i got for now i have to get back to my relaxing friday night.
