 Today was my last day of senior project and what a time it was. I worked 6 hours today and although there wasn't much exciting going on, I got to pull a few more lists and really make sure I got the hang of it. I made sure to get my paper signed by my mentor and helped out with cleaning up the store because there was a massive private tour of little kids in the store yesterday and it was a complete mess. There were clothes on the floor, piles of random hangars everywhere and a boatload of trash on the floor. I made sure to thank everyone who helped me out with my project and spent a bit of time up in the warehouse helping out Ima. They received a shipment of hats yesterday and were just finishing up stocking the shelves so I lent a hand in that. Nothing super exciting today but it was good to have one last day of learning.

Weekly Reflection

My first week on senior project has been nothing short of really cool. Although there may have been some grunt work that wasn't exactly fun, it's all part of the job and it's super cool to see how everything works. Getting the opportunity to shadow our managers and see how each of them operates in tandem with each other while doing completely different tasks. I thought that following Maggie around for a day was definitely the coolest because she's one of the people in charge of coming up with new product designs and ordering more merchandise.

 Hours:8  total 58 Today was a much slower day because the Red Sox are off to the west coast for a road trip. After every homestand, we have what’s called a “reset day”. Honestly these days are the worst because there’s a lot to do but none of it is very interesting. The whole store needs to be swept and vacuumed, we have to restock every piece of product to it’s full capacity on the floor, and we go through the whole store to make sure everything is in the right place. I spent a lot of time up in the warehouse pulling lists which is basically just bringing tons of product down for people to put it out on the floor. I can usually fly through the lists I have to do because I know the warehouse decently well so it’s never too bad. There were a few schools doing field trips to Fenway today so there were lots of young kids in the store which always makes for some funny moments.
