Internship at Collins-DuPont Interior Design Day 1

Sorry for my being away for awhile...I had finals and a lot of other school related things to deal with while I waited for this moment to begin! I am starting my internship and today actually was my first day. I am still sitting here at work. have just about a little less than two hours left til I go home for the day but I thought I would stop by really quickly and let you in on my first day here...

DAY ONE:

I got here a little bit before 8:30 and they were here already welcoming me. I got a tour of the entire firm and met the other owner Sherri DuPont. I met the team leaders and the other team members. They put me to work right away and I started by getting pricing for furniture selections for one of the women on the team. That involved scanning and printing and stapling. Let me just say that was confusing in and of itself for the first few imputs. I was at a loss because I was unsure of the oganization, but a few minutes later I figured it out. That took about 2 hours to complete (mainly due to my lack of not knowing the way of the pricing books)
After that little task, I was able to start on the actual project. My leader Jody (who is pretty cool I might add!) gave me 10000000 things at once. My brain worked into super overtime trying to figure everything she just told me! I started with taking each textile and calling the manufacturer and asking for the price per yard and the amount of yardage they had in stock. Trust, I was nervous to call at first but the people on the other side of the phone knew exactly what I was looking for and in no time I was already completed.
My next task was to also get the images (thank you trusty Google Image Search) of all the furniture that I previously spec-ed out and copy them to folders. Finally, I got the paint wall selections and made sure that they all lined up according to the customers selections.

YEAHHHH! So far so good. I am just lounging now because my team is in a meeting. I have met soo many people, I don't quite remember names..but faces! Also I met another intern, Jennifer, from UF! (Hi Jenn) She is nice too. My favorite employee so far is Carol Garcia..she has this awesome laugh! And lots of candy to go around. She has random outbursts like we do in the ID lab so that is fun. Also, AVA if you read this, there is a girl here JUST LIKE YOU! Laughs the same, talks the same, its funny. So It's like I never left you guys. But I miss everyone!!!

Alright I am done with journal entry one for now. Because, there is nothing left to write. Except I went to Publix for lunch. Got some chicken (shout out to Panda) and sweet tea lol.
Later friends!
