So square.

Today was my first day of internship at an Optical Lab, so I dressed business casual to be on the safe side. Apparently, black trousers and a sleeveless lavender V-neck is WAY overdressed. I stood out like a cow in the Amazon Forest the moment I stepped in.

The folks working the floors were wearing socks with soccer slides, basketball jerseys, flip flops, cleavage plunging tops, and my supervisor, Lisa, cut out the entire backside of her blouse to show a huge tattoo of her 3 children. Of 40 employees, I'm literally the only person without visable tattoos, facial piercings, dreadlocks, or all of the above. Why am I so damn square?

At least I don't have to wait till the end of my internship to get the rook and snug ear piercings that I wanted. My duties are quite random. Magic, the secretary, tested me on computer skills and optometry terms. Then I popped out lenses and traced really expensive, cool looking frames with Margarita. Lisa then taught me the ordering, processing, and shipping process of glasses. Lastly, I sent notices out to optometrists with an 11-yr old girl in a white mini skirt, the owner's grandaughter I assume. Yes, so that's my first day. My preconception of what a lab should look like has diminished.
