One of the quotes I found epitomizes the "want everything for nothing mentality":
Client: I want excellent work
Me: uha
Client: I want very fasst work
Me: Uha
Clent: and i want very very cheap work
Me: as i roll my eyes, look back at the client and exclaim sarcastically .. YEAH, SURE.. you want fries with that?
I like the woman whose husband had to explain vertical and horizontal.
I've worked with several printers who had this posted over the front desk: "Good. Cheap. Fast. Pick two."
MM, and anyone else in LA who might have missed it -- well, everyone missed it, since it was Weather Watch for two hours.
Jumping forward to say:
Wait, is this about Deb's piece, which I thought was nice and saved on Tivo? Damn.
Yay for good Cass news!!! {{{Cass}}}
deb, I didn't see the show but the photo on the Web site is so great! I'm jealous - I love those makeover shows. Glad you all had fun.
Can this effing rain stop already????? Gurglegurglegurgle

Ayup. On the up side ... okay, so it's raining a lot. I got that. TWO HOURS WORTH OF MORNING NEWS, THOUGH? Most of it seemed to be reminding you to not go stare at the strange water in the rivers.
I couldn't help it. I submitted one.
A couple of those from the first link are very familiar. Especially number 13. A tech writer I know told me about it a few years ago.
Back to expensive clothes for a moment. Second hand clothes stores, Ebay (very recently I heard of a wedding dress purchased there) charity shops, factory outlets.
I got a raincoat a couple of years ago with a fur lined hood at Nordstrom's rack. $60. Marked down from some god awful amount.
Once I got a leather full length coat, with a zip out down lining, for $100. The store (Eddie Bauer) had originally had it for sale for $600. but had marked the last one down. As I tried it on, a sign caught my eye. Everything on this rack 50% off of sale price. heh heh. Still have the coat, my figure has expanded a bit. Hope springs eternal.
I'm glad it worked out, Cass. That's wonderful news.
