Dear Blog, 

I like you. But sometimes interns are too busy to blog. Specifically on the week before they go on vacation. But you are in my thoughts.

Simple Math

I have had a website for 4 months now.

In those 4 months I have had, 230 unique visitors

With 3621 hits

& 0 artwork commissions/purchases. 

Meanwhile I have 283 friends on facebook.

= I can’t even get all of my own internet friends to visit my website.

This is an excerpt of an email conversation with my boss:

Her: Next trip-Paris….!

Me: PARIS!
 !!!!!!!!!!!

Cheese and fashion.. what more could a girl want? *swoon*

Her:  You are forgetting “wine, cheese and fashion”!!!

Love.

Me: I have pizza for lunch, but no microwave and I’m thinking of putting it on top of the mac mini 

Lawrence:  eat it cold 

Me:  because it generates so much heat

good idea?

or best idea ever?
Lawrence:  mediocre at best

Book Restock, 2010

As much as I love my job, I look forward to one day being able to remove manual labor from my daily routine.

Ive never introduced myself to a blog before, but then again I’ve also never been able to consistently maintain a blog before, so here goes nothing…

HELLO BLOG!

My name is Barbara in the professional intern world, but those who I love and love me know me as Barbie. I got the idea for this blog from a co-worker (can you call your boss a co-worker?)

Basically every intern that has ever worked for our gallery has a blog, and they blog about work.

Feeling left out I decided to embrace the idea & here is a blog.

This is a blog about :

Graduating from art school

Being an artist

Looking for a “real” job

Living in NYC

Cover letters

Watching all my friends who have jobs make it rain $$$

Having an amazing dream internship that I wish were my job

Errands

Working every odd job to pay bills

Eating a lot of pasta

My cats ruining everything

Growing up.

If you know me IRL, you know where I work.

Because I don’t want the internet to ruin my life, if you don’t know me then all you need to know is that I divide my time between a museum, a gallery and the pleasures of retail.

Hello!
