this week was pretty awful. i had planned on telling Susan about my special interest in Bridal and how i had a strong desire to pursue a career in Bridal after my internship is over. i said, "i was wondering if i could talk to you a little bit about the internship?" well...before i could get the words out, she says, "oh yes! i was wondering if it was ok with you if we put you in menswear PERMANENTLY?!" UM, ok. i told her that i completely understand and that i definitely want to be put where i can help out the most, but i told her all about my interest in Bridal. i said, if you could at least give me 1 day per week in Bridal, i'd be happy. she said she might be able to arrange something.
great.
well, i'm stuck in menswear...doing ABSOLUTELY nothing. literally, i was told to stand in a room because 2 people called in sick to work and they were understaffed. i can't even help customers. i already straightened the whole area. it was my job to stand there JUST IN CASE someone walked in, and then i was supposed to go get a sales associate if anyone did come in. which they did not. one of the assistant buyers who i answer to, Kristy, is out with the flu. on my lunch break, i was sooo mad when i was on the phone with Brady, that i actually said, "i wish i had the flu, it's better than being HERE."
on thursday, i get a call from Susan saying that i could go to Bridal on saturday, the biggest day of the week! i'm so crazy excited about it. until....
I GET THE FLU.
yes, people, i have the full-blown puking, achey, dizzy, fever FLU. i went to the doctor, have been in bed and can't move. i have not been this sick since i was about 7 when i had the flu then. AND i missed my big day in Bridal. be careful what you wish for, people. i got it.

I am soooo sorry you have the flu! I went to the nursing home this week and it was infected with the flu....so I am being a germ freak about not getting it. They are even sending students home from class so the Nursing school doesn't get infected! Hope you feel better soon. Get rested so you can enjoy Bridal next week!
oohhh my poor Laura! i know how excited you were about working bridal...hopefully you will have another chance soon. but right now you shouldn't worry about it; just focus on getting better. i love you so much and i'll send some flu-fighting thoughts your way!
awww i hope you get better! i like to pretend im invincible because i got the flu shot, but turns out i can get it just the same! i'll be calling you soon about visiting, i want you to show me a good time up there in a-town number two! again, hope you feel better!
