Today was my most difficult day.....


since I started working at this company.
I must have been paged 20 times at least by the office.
One of my clients kept calling and was driving me nutzo.
No matter what I said she kept asking me the same question 20 different ways.
My answer was always the same.
I hate it when people don't HEAR you.
I wanted to reach into the phone and .....@FF&XX`0f
.....my head almost exploded.
At one point
I was so overwhelmed by the customer service issues
that I almost went home sick.
I sure felt sick.
Sick in the head.
I am so incredibly glad that the day is over!

By 2 hours into my work day I felt
just like that pug looks !!!

  2. Renee, the only good thing is that the day is over. This is why Happy Hour was conceived, I think. Watch Anna Wintour & Marc Jacobs on Jimmy Fallon tonight. Maybe you can smile then, Jimmy's funny. xx's

  4. It's over. You're done. hope you can shake it off and enjoy the rest of this day ( or night). Start it over so to speak.

    Customer service is not always my forte. That's why i work with a knife in my hand.

  6. Some customers can be maddening! I usually find that a little humor helps. I had a customer a month ago buying hydrangeas and she for the life of me could not remember what the names were and kept asking me over and over.
    I just couldn't help but laugh...she was obviously NUTS.. so just treat them that way....at the end they always buy something!

    Learned that from Hubby!!!

    and when they're rude ...just laugh at them too! believe me you'll feel a whole lot better at the end of the day!

    Big hug!

  12. You may of felt like the pug but would NEVER look like the pug. Just maybe all these kind of days are taking place for when your confronted with a huge decision for change, all the sums of the parts will direct you on the right path? I know that's a bit heavy but I just saw, Eat, Pray, & Love. I keep that in mind for my situation. For all these crappy days will make better days that much brighter. I'm holding on & I know you are too.

    Cheers to the future! LUVS XX

  15. oh Renee how can you stay there !? I would run from that shop long time ago.

    Keep strong.

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.
