Bring It On!!!



I have to tell you
good things are happening.
I am sending signals out to the universe 
that I want, and am ready for new opportunities.
Am I suddenly seeing what was already there ?
or.....
 are they being sent ? 



Something happened at work
 that is absolutely the lowest move
I have ever witnessed in my professional career.

And it happened to me.


When a few words came out of my boss's { and the owner } mouth.
It was shocking. 
Yes.
And so unbelievable to me
that something inside me shut down.

I wasn't upset.

But, I must admit to you that
I had to reach down and pick up my jaw off the floor.

The details are irrelevant....{but i will tell you anyway}
and trust me, you would tell me to pack my things up. 

The next day before a media room project
that I had been working on was supposed to close {sold}
{for 86,000.00 of which they - the company i work for -
had to invest $0.00 - it was all custom work designed my ME }

In a calm and mature {hahaha} way
I stood up to the owner 
when she asked me about the project
and "was it closing tonight?"


Of course 
this is all about money, 
and not paying me my pathetic commission.
If these people can't mark everything up 100% 
they take commission away from you {the salesperson}.

They do it because they can.
This is a 'right to work' state.

Anyway ....when she asked me about closing the big sale....
I asked her;
"what exactly would be my motivation?"
"you have taken the commission away from me on $64,000.00 of it?"
"that's not right, you have had to buy nothing....
to gain this money"
"And if you try and change anything in this media room by so much as by 1inch,
you will be able to sell no media chairs."

Suddenly she said to me;
{while picking her up her jaw off the floor}
" I never said that " {oh yeah? is someone telling a twisted little fib here?}
"no, you just get 1/2 your commission"

hahahaha

No way.
I have a witness. 
The salesperson who turned the job over to me 
was in the room when she said it.


What's that line from the movie with Jack Nicholson?
" hey lady"
 "you can't sell crazy here" 
"we're all stocked up"

Don't even try to pull that crazy making crap on me!


I say; 
"Bring it on baby!!"
"GIVE ME YOUR BEST SHOT!!!!"

I am ready.
There is something big, bright and shiny 
coming down the road and heading straight towards me.
I just have to be ready to go.
I am.
It is my time.

Thank you C.S.
ps
what is going on with blogger??

About Renée Finberg

I have been in this business since the age of 22.

I love what I do and cannot imagine my life without Design.

Design Challenges are great.

And because of those challenges

I have imported fine antique pieces from Paris,

Designed and Manufactured Furniture,

Created Fantastic Window Treatments,

And solved all kinds of spatial & architectural issues

With my unique style.

If I can't find it, I create it.

My rooms would make excellent movie sets.

I am a visual, tactile and audio sensitive individual.

Creating is what I live for, not math, not spelling, not science.

Just Great Design.

Just imagine how it would be if each of us,

If only for a few hours of everyday,We could be in a space that is our very own.A place that is exactly the way we want it to be

Surrounded by all the things we wanted to see,

The atmosphere we wanted feel, smell and the sound we wanted to listen to.
