Goodbye Party

Today was an ok day, until my goodbye party and Brittany's birthday party... then it turned into a fantastic day.
I went on quite a few errands today and one of them turned into something super stressful. I was supposed to pick up some paint brush outs (on gyp board), a kitchen cabinet door with a stain sample on the backside and drop off some fabrics for the client. Pretty simple. I got to the building and found the brush outs right away. When I started asking about the cabinet door's location, that's when everything started going wrong. I tried the loading dock.... not there. The concierge desk... he sent me up to the penthouse suite that we are working on.... it wasn't there. They sent me down to the 41st floor to another suite we work on because it might be there. Those guys couldn't find it so I ended up back at the concierge desk. They had no idea what I was talking about. great. I called the office found out when it was dropped off at the building and more info about it. When I went back to the c. desk and relayed the info, the light bulb lit up and they knew where it was.... yay! I went back up to the penthouse suite and ... bad news. It really wasn't there. The contractor called the other contractor we are working with in the building and.... good news! HE KNEW WHERE IT WAS! Yay! So I went back to the 41st floor and got that cabinet door.  !!!!! I finished the rest of my errands, got back to the office and distributed everything and cleaned up the library while I waited for the party to start.
It was fun to be able to relax at the end of a really long day. It was a bit weird to have a goodbye party a week before I leave, but Kendall leaves on vacation tomorrow for a few weeks so it was good to have it before she left. It was nice to hear how much they appreciate me and how much they'll miss me. They are the  sweetest ladies and I am going to miss working with them. Even though it has been a lot of work, long hours and not every day has been super enjoyable I will miss working with them and being a part of their firm. They even got me a present! 'Be Your Own Decorator' ..... which they are featured in! SO COOL! They all signed it and wrote sweet messages in the front cover. I love reading and design and to have the two put together equals something that I love. Then add the fact that the firm I interned for is in the book and they all signed it.... this book is now a treasure. I'm glad that I still have a week left at Kendall Wilkinson Design. :)
