This week was pretty low key.  Monday was spent doing excel reports all day.  There’s a new intern with the Buyers so I actually ended up showing her how to do some of the reports (because Natalie asked me to), and to be honest, it kind of annoyed me because I could have done it faster on my own.  I did traffic reports, upt reports like usual, but then also based on the retail calendar of the month of February, it ended on March 1st, so I had to do month end reports as well instead of just week end reports.  I did some more work on the calendar, and sent out emails reminding everyone in the department that I would be placing orders for office supplies at around 3.  I got a few replies, and placed the order.  I spent a lot of time doing it because some specific items in the catalog were not on the website.  By the time I finished ordering, it was time to leave.

Thursday I was really busy but it was alot of busy work.  I had to distribute the supplies, and Natalie told me that a few people had told her that they needed to order things, so I emailed the specific people and told them I’d place the order at 4.  I had to return a wall calendar and figure out how to do returns, because Natalie never had to do it.  I also had to format a top seller award for a picture frame, and do some budget reports.  At that point, I needed a break from Excel so I went to lunch.  When I got back, Natalie was still at lunch, so I just spent awhile working on the calendar.  I had finally gotten a copy of the Marketing calendar so I could add those in, plus it took me awhile to fix the formatting.  I ordered the supplies and then I left.
