Woah boy, talk about intense few days. My head is spinning and my body is dragging.
Yesterday was one looong day. The trainer is a hoot. Very funny and VERY peppy. I have no idea how she had the energy to stand up and talk to us for 8 hours without losing momentum. She also made the info as interesting as it could possibly be - without her humor and energy, yesterday would have been the most boring day on record.
Today was all about teaching the salespeople about color, texture, style, etc. I learned a few things myself. I am a bit overwhelmed with just how different residential design is to commercial design (office design). I mean I knew it was different, but standing there and working with the differences is another thing! I have no idea when I'll be able to hit the library to take out a few books on livingroom design, but I gotta get there.... unless folks know of some good websites for livingroom layouts and such.
Oh, and I was WAY overdressed yesterday!I wore tailored charcoal clacks and a black sweater with a V-neck embellished with rhinestones (so then I don't need a necklace
) it sound fussy but its very elegant and work appropriate. Today I wore a favorite navy blue argyle twin set with tan trousers. BUT, I am SO GLAD I wore what I wore because the trainer spent a LOT of time yesterday talking about appropriate clothing and how customers will judge us based on our presentation of ourselves. I felt good knowing only me and one other person was dressed in what she deemed appropriate
Anyhow, I just checked in to read everyone's well wishes, and thank you all for them. Now I'm headed for a nice loooong visit with my kitties in bed
