Busy Day!

Aug 23, 2006 10:07

I love busy days at work...although it does give me less online time, hehe. I have a nice sized custom cabinetry order to place and a few quotes to do. We are now opening a paint store so we are all going to learn about the paints. Lucky for me I was a custom paint gal in my former life. It was one of my absolute favorite jobs because #1) I'm good at matching color by eye, it may sound easy but not everyone can do it, and #2) most male contractors just hated knowing the fact that their paint was mixed by a "girl". They used to come in to where I used to work and wait in long lines to talk to one of "the guys" while I stood idly by. The best part was when one of "the guys" would turn the order over to me to make it! LMAO And I would write the paint color or formula on the lid in my most girliest handwriting so they KNEW I mixed it. I had several contractors apologize to me for not giving me a chance. And now it looks like I'll have a chance to do it again. The cool thing is that we're taking on Pratt and Lambert paints (great stuff!) and I already know the line! Lovin' it!!! Unfortunately I probably won't be making much because I'll be busy with my regular job, but I have a feeling that our current receptionist is going to be doing most of the customer service and paint mixing...that scares me to death! Don't get me wrong, she is a wonderful, sweet, caring person...just not the brightest crayon in the box. We'll have to see how all that works out!
peace
