first monday of work, getting ready for an exciting week!

So today was my first monday of work since last monday was a holiday... i was pretty tired from going to bed pretty late last night (and full of cider :) ) hahah but i had my usual breakfast and morning bus ride... its going to rain again today, but hopefully not too hard.

work was super super busy today.... i just have non-stop tasks and laura just keeps giving me more hahaha, but i did a lot for Fiona today, she is in charge of "Education" for jo malone and la mer, which means that she's in charge of training all of the workers that work the counters for JM and LM at big department stores.... they need to know sooo much! because they must know how to give hand and arm massages with the products, and they need to know how to fragrance combine the jo malone scents. i worked on a big powerpoint presentation and excel sheet that had all the fragrances, and their respective top, middle, and base notes.... its interesting to see the notes of the perfumes and how they interact with one another to get a specific scent. jo Malone sells these "Fragrance chronicles" that contain a main scent and then a smaller bottle of each note, so you can customize your scent! pretty cool... each slide also had descriptive words of the perfume and who made the scent, a lot of times Jo Malone works together with another person to create a scent. i had to print out all these powerpoints about La Mer and its whole process of making the special creme (i couldnt help but read a little as i was working :) ) and then i had to bind them all into booklets... i also have a new talent to add to my resume:
the backwards black bow of a ja malone box! wow i dont know how many jo malone things i packed, and i am now a masterrr of ribbon tying! hahaha they do this special bow... so watch out Flo, i am going to be the new master christmas wrapper ;)
work work work, then on the way home i stopped at tom and toms to get internet.... libby and jackie were there... but it was sooo slow yet again! so i just went home, made some dinner and katie and i watched some tv, and then bed :)
