So today was my first day.

My boss, Dave, seems really nice. Also super laid back. Yesterday he tells me, "Show up around 10. 10:30." I get to wear jeans. Anyway, so I show up, and he gives me a tour of the house (freaking huge by the way), and then I help Annette (his current assistant, who is going back to school, hence why he needs a new one) package some posters for shipping. So much more goes into the packaging process than I thought. According to Dave, packaging is the most important part of the business. Poorly packaged posters can be damaged in transit, and some of these posters sell for $1000s.

After we packaged the posters, Annette and I took them to the post office. The people at the post office must hate us, because we came in with like 15 posters to mail, and they're all going at different rates (express, priority, air mail) to different places. It's time consuming. And I really pitied the people who came in after us and had to wait for us to finish.

We stopped at Dave's office to pick up his mail, then we got some food, then we went back to the house. The mail was posters. I am shocked. :P We opened those and laid them out in his "studio" (his back patio - tres professional, I know) to photograph them with the digital camera. Then Annette showed me how I'll have to adjust the brightness/contrast so that the posters don't look washed out when we put the pics up online. Then we put the posters in plastic wrap for storage, labeled them, and put them away.

And for that I get $9 an hour. :D

Side note: I made it to work in thirty minutes this morning. It took me an hour to get home. Stupid rush hour.
