- Week 4, 5 & 6 -

I've decided to combine these two to three weeks within one post. Everyone including the entire staff, the visual team and the interns were all focused on one of the biggest corporate visits the store has each year. High tension and high expectations were all at stake, and we were all trying to meet our goals, somehow. Some of the goals were pretty achievable, but some id say, were just a bit unrealistic. I knew in the back of my mind that i should not have taken that coffee break, maybe i would've painted a bit more over 686 clothes pins vs the 1000 pins i was supposed to paint, ...  individually. Took 2 days to paint but the old ordinary looking clothes pins are now hanging on strings and used in the main window display, and it feels goood.

The visit overall was a great success, or so i was told. The regional manager and his team were really impressed with the store displays and really were really taken away by the talent present at the store.  we were told that "it'll take him 10 years to forget that big massive fish thats hanging from the ceiling". and that as well, feels good.

These two weeks were just a blur of organizing, stocking, cleaning, dusting, painting, and painting a bit more. But non the less i found it very beneficial to be in that environment thats full of tension, high pressure and anxiety. I should be expecting deadlines, goals, and corporate visits in the Visual display world right?
