JOB ...

It is good thanks for asking! I love it ...so far. It has been about a week and it is great. Last Friday they had "clients" in to look at their stuff. After the entourage left we had our usual glass of wine to finish the day. Reason #99 why I love it here... So, "boss" tells me do you know who that was? I reply "no?" He tells me it was the biggest Turkish industrialist (in Turkey of course) and his wife who owns the largest newspaper in Turkey, their decorator who is married to Ray Charles old manager??? Anyway, big shots nonetheless. They flew in from Turkey to Paris to see our stuff and she flew from Brazil on another job. Must be nice, eh? If we get this job it could be big since this house they are decorating in Turkey is HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!! I on the other hand have not gotten any sales yet (it has only been one week) but have had lots of interesting conversations. People in the states love when you tell them you are calling from Paris! It gives you some kind of authority to be put through to the big shots or a good in for convo! Here is how the conversation goes down:
ring, ring...random designer receptionist or actual snotty designer answers...
them: ABC interiors inc?
me: Hi, yes I am calling from Paris, France for (*&(*& decorative arts company can I talk to John?
them: um, he's not available can he call you back or voicemail.
me: well, I am calling from Paris France i wanted to talk to John live as the time difference makes it more difficult to get in touch.
them: What...uh, oh? Paris ...France...really??? What time is it there? WOW? Is the weather nice, oh you are so lucky, that is my favorite city, have you been to blah blah blah
me: (thinking...score, I love my job!) yes, it is great don't you wish you were me? yes, I love it here!!! Is John available ? Oh he is great...you'll put me right through??? thanks!!!
So, that is my day!

Jealous, yes I know...
