 Oh, what's up? My name is Sonali. Welcome to my channel if you guys are new. Today is my first day of work at my part-time job and I realized that I didn't even explain what this job is, but I made a whole video. So if you guys want to watch that and just get more details about what I'm doing here in Athens, then I will have that link down below. I actually traveled to Athens, Georgia where I'm going to be training. The company is actually headquartered in Athens, which is crazy because my boyfriend actually went to UGA and I'm from Atlanta. So it all worked out and it's weird how it worked out. I'm glad to be back in a familiar place and I'm staying in a hotel right now. Just got here, kind of just like unpacked some stuff. I need to get my work stuff out because I don't know if I needed my important papers, so I just brought it like the birth certificate and all that stuff. My hair is a little bit crazy because of my headphones and everything traveling and stuff like that. I took a plane from Austin to Atlanta and then a shuttle from Atlanta to Athens. It was honestly really easy, which thank God because I just was a little nervous about the shuttle. I didn't want to miss it or anything. But yeah, I'm going to meet my boss, I think, downstairs in the lobby and we're going to go walk over to the office. Home for my first day of work, I look like crap because I've been walking in like the rain. It wasn't like raining, but it was like drizzling. So I picked up food for tonight's dinner. I went to De Palma's. I just saw Italian food on Yelp and I was like, yeah, that sounds like really good right now. So I got that and then I went to CBS because Ryan sent me a picture of my toothbrush and I was like, dang it, like I forgot my freaking toothbrush. So I went to grab a travel one and then I might have bought many kickats, you know, maybe. I'm actually starving right now. I literally had like 20 blueberries before I went to work and that's all I had today. So I was super, super sleepy during training. Like I felt like my eyes were watering, but I was trying so hard to pay attention, but I was like up since like five. So it's been a long day and the work doesn't stop here because I'm going to edit my work week in my life. And I have like an hour's worth of footage or even more that I want to get up today because it's the vlog that I say like I got a job. I just want to like tell people already, at least on like my social media and stuff. So especially because like I'm here in Athens and I just want to like post it on my social media like I got a job y'all. So I'm going to try to do that before the bachelor. I definitely need to wash my hair. I need a shower and I'm thinking like I really want to shower before I eat because I just like to feel clean like and get in my comfy clothes and just chill. But I'm like so hungry right now. So today was just pretty much training, meeting people, like talking about what I'm going to be doing a little bit. Tomorrow it's just going to be more training and more talking about like ideas and stuff like that. And then Wednesday it's actually going to be getting the content around the corporate office. Some of you may know that I worked with the University of Central Florida which is where I went to school. And thank god I worked there because I'm finding a lot of like similarities between the two because they're more like corporate jobs. They have like clouds where you like put the projects that you're working with and I would have never known that if I didn't work in like a corporate job before this. And it would have been like so much more confused than I am today. So thank god that I had that past experience. There were a couple other things that I kind of just like knew of. Maybe like Outlook and some of that stuff. But oh my god I don't think I told you guys this because I didn't really talk today. But they gave me a MacBook Pro and I'm so freaking excited because literally during my interview or maybe not my interview but the onboarding call when they told me I got the job. They told me that they were going to give me a Dell computer and not to sound ungrateful or like anything like that. But I've been using Mac since I want to say middle school and it would just be such a hard transition. I could do it. I was going to do it. I was going to make do but it would be such a hard transition. It would make me 100 slower. And on top of that I'm going to be using Premiere not Final Cut which is very very fluent in but Premiere is actually something I learned from my last job at UCF. So again thank god for UCF for giving me that job. It was at an internship but you know whatever job because I got paid. So I was really really worried about first working on a Dell and getting back into Premiere because I haven't used Premiere since I finished my internship which was in May. So I was just really really worried that I would be a little bit slower than usual and then when I got there I saw like my Mac but it was like covered with like a paper on top. So I didn't know if it was like a Dell that looked like a Mac because I know there are like computers that look a little similar. It was just silver you know it could have been a Dell. But then I saw like the ports on the side and I was like is that a Mac? And she was like oh yeah like I forgot to tell you we got you a Mac and I was like holy crap like thank you because that was just a big worry in mind just being like slow and like inefficient. So I'm just so thankful that they understood my needs. They just understood that video editing you know could be better on a Mac. Not saying that Dell's are bad for editing but I don't know they asked their IT guy and the IT guy told him to give me a Mac. So that was pretty much my first day at work. My boss is super cool and my boss's boss is also really cool. Everyone in the creative team is just really friendly and nice. So overall it went well and hopefully I'll try to vlog a little bit more clips throughout the week definitely on Wednesday when I'm gonna get the content. Hopefully I can get some more clips but I'm starving so I'm gonna take a few bites and hop in the shower. Good morning y'all it is Tuesday it is currently like 8 a.m and I have to be at the office at 9 a.m. The office is super super close to the hotel that I'm staying at which is nice. They start working at 9 a.m every day so if I were to work back in Austin I'd probably just start at 8 because I like getting up early for a purpose and I like getting things just out of the way for the day especially because in part time I can start working at 8 and then be finished a lot earlier and get some YouTube stuff done freelancing anything like that so that'll be good and we'll probably like make my tentative schedule today or tomorrow. But I forgot what we're doing today. She actually had a whole schedule for me it was so cute it was like this little graphic on a piece of paper and it was adorable. I think today we're setting up my computer because there was something wrong with like my email and like I couldn't get into like the outlook and stuff um so we're gonna do that trying to think what else I can't really remember right now but um I'll try to blog a little bit more today. Like I said I'm not really sure what I'm doing so it might be hard if I'm like with other people. I think me and my boss are going to dinner tonight which is nice because I think I told you guys this but maybe not um I only have like one friend that I can remember it that still goes here. I mean there are probably other people that I know that I can reach out but um her name's Simran and we actually did like Indian pages together when we were younger so that's how I met her and she's still here at UGA so I reached out to her and we're gonna get dinner tomorrow night. So yesterday was like the only night that I was like lonely but honestly I had bachelor and like I had like this video I wanted to get up. Also speaking of videos I am so freaking sad because I literally vlogged a whole week in my life like getting my headboard it was so cute and like getting my job like it was literally the week that I negotiated my job and stuff and it was just like everything was in that vlog. I checked my computer the project was nowhere to be found because I already imported the footage to a project and it was nowhere to be found and I checked like my backups and so I did make the project but I don't know if I like deleted the project or what and like then I found the backup and then obviously the files were missing so I had to like have the footage to like you know import back in like re-import. I didn't bring all my SD cards here but I checked all the ones I had and they didn't have anything because they were like formatted for other events and so I asked Ryan if he could go through all my SD cards which was really nice of him because I know that's like annoying to do um and so he did and he couldn't find anything so I'm thinking that it was on one of my SD cards that I have here and I just formatted it but literally it's so weird because every time I format a card I literally check everything like the pictures are they all in lightroom the videos are they all in a project where they need to be so like I can't really remember deleting all that footage I just can't so I don't know I'm just really sad about it because I thought that vlog was going to be so good and I was literally waiting for me to like come to Athens and like actually put it up um because like I don't know I just want it to be like more official I didn't want the people at work to think I was like weird talking about my job before I like actually was in the job I don't know so I'm really really sad about that but you know maybe it was fate that I didn't post it for some odd reason I don't know but I put up like just explaining what I'm going to be doing in this role so I'll link that down below um and just some other questions today I'm wearing this shirt I don't think I'm like the biggest fan of it but like it works and it's like unique and whatever um and then I'm just wearing my black pants it's like really cold outside so I need to like bundle up but I have really only brought my puffer but like that'll do um and my hair is natural today it's like weird it's literally like not wavy it's not straight it's like weird um I could have strained it but I was just like you know what let's just not put heat on it for one day I'm gonna go get breakfast so I'm not late to work actually I'm gonna save it going to the market for lunch I'm just gonna take this for breakfast I actually brought these berries from home so did not have to spend money on that it is 12 17 and I'm sorry about the banding um the lighting is just gonna be horrible in this video because hotel rooms don't usually have the best light um but I'm at my lunch break I have to be back at like 12 45 so I have a little time to eat and then get my camera because I think I'm gonna shoot around the office today um and get some content I got chicken tenders from golden pantry market it's like right under the mark I think and look at this gem well beauty guru actions with my honey mustard I don't know if you guys recognize this but for me this was the honey mustard that I had in like high school and middle school with chicken tenders and literally this honey mustard is like the best honey mustard in the world so when I saw that I was like real hyped about it um so today I don't know okay today I finally got into my email so that's all squared away um we've just been really talking about more like what content I'm gonna get I'm sorry that's like on an angle but I'm resting you on my purse so you'll just have to deal but um we've been just trying to look at some other like content that they want me to get um and talk about scheduling for the next couple of weeks and feel like there's just so much more like so much to even learn and all that um but I mean my training is probably going to go into next week like because they want me to obviously make my trip worthwhile like get content while I'm here so they don't want to take up all my time doing training so I'm going to be doing like screen share and stuff um when I'm home so yeah I'm gonna eat my food now because I'm starving I'm walking back over to work my backpack and camera staff ready to get some content about to be six and my boss is actually going to pick me up she stayed late at work and we're going to go get sushi at this place called chucks I'm really excited I'm always out for sushi hey I'm Pelsies morning y'all it is Wednesday and it is my last day here in Athens tomorrow morning I'm headed back to Austin um but it's kind of been nice being in a hotel and like I really thought it would be so lonely but I feel like it was kind of nice just to you know have some time to myself just to like literally watch youtube and just chill um and also just like focus on like editing videos and all that stuff today we are going to get so much content around the office um I know I'm going to interview one of the employees there uh and I think it's just like a content day I also think she said that we are all going to get lunch like the whole creative team so that could be fun um like I said everyone's like super friendly and inviting and welcoming which is just very appreciated because you know it's obviously intimidating being a new person at the company it's like being the new girl at school tonight is the day that I'm meeting up with my friend Simran and we're gonna go get dinner I'm not really sure where yet I still want to hit up Paulies um so if we don't go there for lunch we'll probably go there for dinner uh but I think lunch may be just like something super close and fast I'm supposed to be at work at nine and I've been getting up at like 7 30 which is nice because I don't feel rushed the light sucks in here but I'm just gonna try to show you guys this is one of the outfits I picked up from style encore I went shopping in my last vlog so if you want to check that out you can click the link down below um but it's nice because it like cinches in at the waist so it really shows off my curves without being like too inappropriate it just doesn't make me super boxy I wish it had pockets though I was like literally trying to find the pockets and it doesn't so that's the only thing I don't like about this dress on the way here my suitcase was like 25 pounds which is honestly like very surprising to me because I feel like I over packed for this trip I brought like so many like random like comfy clothes that I barely even wore but thank god it's 25 pounds because obviously I have to bring my work computer home I'm gonna chill a little and then head on over to the office girl just finished her first week of work it's crazy I can't believe it went so fast honestly um and I mean yeah it was overwhelming at times but I feel like it wasn't that bad I feel like I was a lot more nervous than I had to be and I'm really excited um I'm not even done training yet there's still like some courses I have to take but I got through one of the big courses today so I got that out of the way which was nice and now I'm gonna go put on some comfy clothes and wait till my friend Simran picks me up we're going to Polly's so I'm really excited about that it's like my main thing I always have to eat when I'm here in Athens I'm back in the hotel room and my comfy's but cute because this is just a sweater but I feel like this turtleneck is really just like large maybe I wash it weird or something but I just want to give you guys an overall of my first week at work again this is pretty much my first job um after graduation it's been 10 months since graduation I've been working but I've been working for myself so I haven't had like a boss or anyone to like report to um so it definitely is going to be something different and it's gonna be like a big change since it is part time like 30 hours per week it's not like it is slightly flexible obviously I'm just gonna try to stay as consistent as possible like if something comes up if I have like a random shoot like maybe I can like uh switch around my hours for the week um but yeah I mean everything is pretty good I'm really just excited to like actually get to the creating content part like I did more of it today um but I just like want to go ahead and edit videos and like take pictures and um like do drone work which I need to learn how to fly a drone so that's on my to-do list it's gonna make my videos like 10 times cooler when I figure out how to fly a drone um my dad gave me his drone because he just wasn't using it and he thought I could use it which I could but I'm just so nervous about flying a drone because first of all it's expensive second of all I don't want to crash it and I have to pay for repairs I don't know why but my arms are hurting so bad right now holding this vlogging camera so I'm just gonna end this clip here but I'll try to vlog when I'm with Simran night it seriously wins the last time we were with each other um when you came here last to Athens and we went to Starbucks right right right that was a long time ago oh yeah and we're going to Polly's gonna eat some good food so oh true I will yummy we got some wine I got the Moscato pretty good it's Thursday morning it's 8 15 right now and my bus to take me to the outlet airport comes at 8 30 so I'm gonna go downstairs check out and then wait for the bus it's literally like down pouring outside and this hotel doesn't really have like an awning so that's gonna be fun but my hair is like already wet I just showered so I don't really care like messing up my hair or anything um but my luggage like I said it was 25 pounds on the way here so thank god for that because I was able to stuff in a lot of like random stuff that I got like my work computer and my like work swag that I got I got this like water bottle um umbrella like a note pattern stuff like that um but it feels like a lot heavier I did put one of my camera lenses in there just to like um make my backpack a little less heavy so hopefully it's under 50 but if it's not I mean I can always transfer it back into my backpack no big deal almost likely vlog when I'm back in awesome I literally got home at 4 I honestly don't know where my house keys are and I forgot that I lost them so I had to get dropped off um by an uber at oracle where Ryan works and I took his car home and so now I'm gonna go back pick him up and then we're gonna get dinner and then he's gonna drop me at an event that I'm photographing and shooting for video so literally the work does not stop I've been traveling the whole freaking day because obviously in Athens you have to take a shuttle to the airport and first of all the shuttle was late it was like a good 45 minutes late and I had to call them and like be like hello like did this shuttle leave me then they told me it was late I would have been so annoyed if I would have like stood out there for like more than 20 minutes because it was literally raining and there was nowhere to sit because like all of the cushions were soaked anyways I made it at least I'm alive and I'm gonna make it to the event I was honestly kind of worried that like the flight would get delayed we're good we're great this event is like a valentine's day thing I don't remember the last video work I've done for like an actual paid gig there shall be interesting I got my uh stabilizer charging over there and I think I'm gonna go pick up Ryan because apparently he's getting off early today I don't know it is Friday happy valentine's day um I am just gonna end the vlog here because today is a very very hectic day I actually got my nails done this morning got um do you take lay away from opi dip on my nails and I did like this new shape I always get like square um and I cut them a little bit I thought I would do a little bit of a switch up because my nails were just getting really really long I could barely button my own shirts and it was just getting out of control um but yeah these are my real nails I've never gotten like tips or like acrylics or anything like that um I have been doing laundry all morning um and now I'm getting to the event last night and I totally forgot to vlog obviously when you're in an additive event like getting hired to take pictures and videos especially because it was both I didn't really have time to just like chill so I didn't vlog at all but um you guys can watch this video it will definitely be up um by the time this vlog goes up you can watch this video I'll try to link it down below I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post it on my youtube channel or um if I have to link it to someone else's social media um because it was pretty much like a boudoir party boudoir photography is like taking photos of like women they could be naked they could be like in their lingerie I don't really know what the definition is but basically like um very sexy photos there was a photographer there taking just solely boudoir and then I was just kind of giving like an event recap and then there was like uh what's it called chair dancing that sounds really wrong like chair dancing maybe that's what it's called um and just like other cool things um and it was really cool to just see like all these women be so confident I asked this one girl if like she was like okay with me videoing her and she was like like okay sure and I was just like oh my god I would totally say no I think but then also like first of all if you have a good body like obviously you'd probably want to show it off um but then also she was only in like a bra and panties which is pretty much a bikini and so I feel like it's not that much different but I guess the posing is like definitely sexier than like a bikini photo um but anyways I thought it was like a really cool event they got their hair and makeup done you could see these women feel so confident and it was like kind of inspiring because I'm not very confident like in that way like being sexy and stuff so I just thought it was really cool um and I guess it kind of opened my eyes to like boudoir photography because I've always been like not very into it but I don't know I feel like it could definitely be something that I'd be a little bit more open to just because I have got a little taste of it um so yeah that's a little update on the event last night we are going to Los Angeles tonight so we literally landed like 12 midnight or what I am I don't even know my grandma is picking me up from LAX and Ryan because Ryan's coming with Sophie is staying here in Austin um with a friend so shout out to Taylor she's taking care of Sophie I still have to pack and all that but I kind of just want to start on this video I actually chopped it up it was like at 40 minutes of footage or like almost an hour I can't really remember but now it's down to three minutes I did all the chopping last night and now I'm going to make the cuts go on the beat if that makes sense um so yeah I'm really excited to edit this video and I have so many vlogs to edit and I honestly wanted to like keep my laptop here because I know I'm not going to have time in LA and I feel like it's just like a waste of space to bring it but then I'm thinking like oh my god I just have so many like vlogs of like my own to edit and there's just too much to do and not enough time so I don't know we'll see I'll get it done some way somehow look out for the LA vlog um I'm really excited to go I'm really excited to take Ryan and just show him everywhere um if you guys aren't already following my Instagram I'm definitely going to be posting a lot especially on stories um so go ahead and follow that and I will see you guys in my next vlog this February 15th and we are still in Austin we were supposed to be in LA today um we were supposed to fly into LAX last night and some shit went down literally the day of I'm gonna let Ryan take this away because he like knew more about what was going on so yeah so basically we booked the tickets it was like pretty cheap in bank 350 for both the bus to go which is not bad and the next day I was looking at the flight again and it dropped like a hundred dollars and you can cancel it in 24 hours it was like oh how do you cancel it and rebuy it we can spend that money I've got other things like an Airbnb or dinner or something so I canceled it booked the next flight for the same day same time everything and I got my confirmation code and I was like whatever else check in the day of I wasn't everything was normal because that's how it usually is yeah I came in for lunch I was like I need to pack and then I went back to work and I was like I need to check in just so we get a good seat and when I went to check in the status was like canceled and I was like what the hell like why so it's my credit card statement and I've been charged for the full amount and I was like okay why is this canceled so I had her reach out a few times so annoying and myself reach out and apparently the billing address wasn't correct for one credit card but charged the other credit card and we didn't get a new confirmation code for that credit card so they sold our tickets like so I'm over over three hours trying to get them to answer me well more because if you include my time with them yeah and it was a computer error yeah so because like a girl family I'm like hey sorry computer error yeah I was really upset I obviously cried because I was like shaking I mean we both like he was at work so that was like another factor that made me so annoyed just because I couldn't like communicate with him in the time of like you know this like situation um and I was like shaking I like I don't know I was just like so frustrated and like upset that this happened I was obviously really excited to go to California my whole mom's family lives there and he was gonna meet like my whole extended family and like they like you know had all this like um stuff planned for us yeah like we were gonna go to my uncle's house for dinner and like they already had the whole menu like everyone was bringing something and I felt so bad when they told me that I was like oh but I mean I know that stuff happens for a reason I'm not sure like what that reason was but I'm just trying to be a little bit positive about the situation like we booked the ticket one week from like the when the flight was gonna go what yeah so I mean it was kind of like a rush trip so my family was like yeah like next time you come you definitely have to like stay for longer and stuff like that I mean I just started a new job so I don't know how realistic staying longer is going to be Ryan had this Monday off so he wanted to go somewhere and it's just really sad like I just wanted to take him and like explore California and see my family and I was like just really freaking upset about it I mean as you could imagine especially like finding out the day of the flight I was like livid we didn't mention the airlines that this happened on but I bet you guys can guess so I'm gonna take five seconds and let you guys comment down below and see who gets it right so the airlines was spirit airlines shocker me and Ryan have flown with spirit so many times and honestly nothing bad has ever really happened during our flights or like before that and after um so yeah we were just like really upset because we like love spirit and we love how cheap it is but this was just like so annoying to have to deal with obviously um so yeah that is the story of why we aren't in LA today and why you guys won't be seeing LA vlogs and I'm just so sad about that last night we went to Whole Foods and we literally bawled out because we were just like eating our feelings so we bought like fish we bought scallops we got steak like so many random things and it was a fun night and I made cocktails and stuff like that so we had fun yeah I fell asleep during the new all to all the boys have ever loved or loved what Ryan said that's how good it was but I was just so tired because like obviously I was drinking drinking makes me so sleepy so fast but I definitely need to watch that movie on my own time did you really finish it or like no I doubt you watch what okay good so we can finish it tonight
