Kiki Says I Win At Life

From Corinne, Costume Shop Intern

Kiki says I win at life. I trust her. But it sure doesn't feel that way right now. I've got less than 40 days left here in Seattle, here at the Rep, and it's an effing bummer. BUM CITY!

Of course, sitting in a dressing room disguised as an office that is littered with boxes and return information papers, I know I won't miss THIS particular job. But just the thought of being out there in the world without the DIRECT support of the amazing people here...it's just a wee bit scary. I don't want to think about that day when I can't say I work at the Rep. Which is coming up way too quickly. Blargh. Today is not the day for me to right an inspiring blog.

Hey, the sun is out though! And Eugene Lee and Wilson Milam are getting in town this week! And..... hm, and I dunno.

People aren't as nice when you're making returns. They love you and treat you very well when you are buying expensive suits; they will bend over backwards to help you. But when you want to cancel an order because it didn't arrive in time, or want to return an expensive suit that didn't fit, they do things like act nasty or hang up on you before you've finished asking all your questions. I guess I can understand. Retail sucks. But so does schlepping dozens of winter overcoats and 3-piece suits all over the friggin' city. I should get to hang up on them. Even in person. 'Click,' you're done.

I bet this blog isn't long enough, but I really should get back to packing Zappos returns and whatnot. Hooray for packing tape!

ps - Kiki totally came to visit me, however not in my "office" - but can we really hold it against her if she combined her work visits with her fun visits? I guess we could. Maybe we will.
