tiny little mice girls....
why is finishing a garment the hardest part? not to mention my finishing abilities suck. even if i wanted to put bias tape around the edge of this i would surely fuck it up, and there would be gathering. lots of unwanted gathering.
guh, i fell down on my bed and started sleeping. now i'm all nappy. grr.
so today at work i got a bunch of the write-ups done but there are about 8 of them that are real road blocks, just no info nothing to juice! but i get to start something more fun tomorrow. attributes! entering bra style info into the data base. at least i'l be playing with garments and standing and moving. i hate sitting in a pile infront of that laptop being frustrated.
speaking of frustration at work, there are two girls i work closely with, i say girls because they are close to my age. one is S and the other is L. i relate with S more i just think she needs to be more assertive and confident, i mean to say that she should be because she is smart and knows what she's doing. she dresses cute and she knows her job so i respect her and often ask her questions. the other girl L is a bumbling idiot, i suppose that's harsh, but i gotta say what i feel, this is America. she looks and talks like she's 12. she is very passive on the phone with companies we purchase from. she has weird/bad ideas. for example we had the bra photo shoot and she told our manager that we should get a teddy bear for the shoot for the model to hold. i litterally busted up laughing even though i was eavsdropping from across the room. i had to catch my mouth because i didnt want her to think i was laughing at her, i mean how off can you get? Our manager explained to her that, a teddy bear wasnt quite the look we were going for. another example, we were eating lunch and and another girl was having a hard time eating her udon soup because it was too hot and we needed to get back to work soon. L tells her to put her styrofoam cup of soup in a bowl of ice and then chugg it. i made a face at her, and she thought she was being clever and laughed. L also happens to be in charge of ordering the bras that we get in for the fit testing. a few of the other ladies and i have been having a good time laughing at the hideous bras that come in. one is especially bad, it's a burgandy bra covered in seafoam lace, it's like a bridesmaids dress from hell. and today when we were being trained on how to do the style attributes one of the attributes is plain and simple or lacy and pretty and as an example of pretty and lacy this fugly bra got picked up and one of the gals called it lacy and ugly but it still goes under the lacy and pretty attribute and L starts to stand up for this fugly bra and trying to justify why the designers would have used those colors and everyone is being fairly polite and saying "well maybe, but..." then i called her out, i said, " L, did you pick that one out?". a roar of laughter comes over the small group and then she shushed. good day.
