Work Efficiency

Ok, so those people out there that know me are well aware that I'm ready to hang up my badge and pick up my student ID as soon as possible. However, today... for what seems like the first time in ages, I really am enjoying my work. I got a lot done, and took on some new stuff... and my manager has been in the best mood!

We had this meeting today describing the results of the "employee voice" survey. I have to admit, the work habits of the French astound me. "We don't want to have definition regarding job roles because then employees will be unmotivated to go above and beyond their job roles." Um ok.. but what about developing a few standard operating procedures so we know what we're doing? Or even, a contact list? So I don't bother everyone in the department to figure out who I call because I've been locked out of the G/L system? I now have the opportunity to join the communications team and make an impact at our organization. This means more trips to the New York City Office. What fun.

I have decided that I will apply to HBS. After so much temptation to visit the BW Forum, I have resisted for the day. I actually came to my decision because I met a wonderful young lady who has a company that makes these fabulous purses! You must check her out at www.lauraleedesigns.com. And for all my friends in LA, she's in Fred Segal! And most importantly, she went to UCLA and was an Economics major, she worked in Consumer Products at Nike.. and now she has a real life company in the fashion world!

So my friend has gotten me totally hooked on Shopaholic! That serial was MADE for me! If only it really were possible to be a financial television consultant and a professional shopper. And even better, one for Barneys. Well maybe one day... after I start my cosmetics company, my niche skincare retail stores, and my boutique hotel in Ibiza.
