so we just got a letter from the president of the company saying that no one is going to get raises this year. BUT we can still conduct reviews...informally if you want to. after reading the letter i felt just terrible for everyone, i mean i have only been there 3 1/2 months but the other girls that have been there for more then a year and have not seen a raise yet and were probably promised one come reviews..... I know we are in a recession but at the same time there are tons of girls in the office that were counting on the raises to help pay for bills. It just sucks all around, the company wants to conserve the money it already has. but hey at the end of the day we all have jobs. just be thankful but at the same time we all have to look our for ourselves.
well tidbits about today.... work is obviously boring. Running around getting approvals, in meetings and fittings and trying to mock
in between. I tried to mock today but there were no forms available to use
cuz everyone in the office is trying to make mocks for the monthly meeting next
Wednesday. But Courtney and I have this meeting and our trans body meeting to mock for. It is kinda stressful and tiring..... weekend plans.....
umm... mocking! Fingers crossed for
uber cute knock-offs. What i was working on today was an
asymmetrical top with
chainmail trim.... kinda
cheezy you might think.. but not so bad.... if it doesn't get picked up..i am def posting a photo up.....
cuz i had to break out my pattern making skills for this one (
ie no form to work with and drape with) the top portion came out the way i wanted but the bottom came in too narrow.. but i think it was really cute on. I am also working on knocking off a cropped knit top from
Contempo Casuals (can you all please give this amazing chain a shout out please! AMAZING SHIT!) also will be posting a photo if it is not picked up either.
Anywho enough about work.... the girls at work decided to make some dinner at Alyssa's place, kinda of a potluck.... veggie pasta, salad, guacamole, chips, hummus, broccoli, cheese, wine spritzers,
uno and arm wrestling....
Uno game.... Stephanie one the 1st round and i won the next..... Arm wrestling...
Stephanie beat all the girls even with her left arm. :(

So i have this random friend named Yoon Lee and well... she sees hearts EVERYWHERE. and for the past few months she has been sharing me phone images of all the hearts she sees. A couple of people have been urging her to create a blog to share it with the world....and FINALLY after countless months of labor, she gave birth to http://iseehearts.blogspot.com.
