Cohdopian Notes #8

[dearestdiplomat]

I've been wondering if I should post less personal information online. I was advised in the past that that would be more prudent, as I am a public figure. I previously had someone else to manage my internet affairs. I suppose most other ambassadors I know don't write a great deal about their personal lives in their blogs, if they do maintain

I see you've finally got your online store up and running! What a wonderful idea for the embassy. I'm so glad to see it finally materialized. I, myself, have found much success in that particular field as well, selling the suitcases I designed.

If the offer still stands, I'm still very much interested in that design job you mentioned before!

I'm so glad you like the idea, Ms. Teneiro! Thank you very much for all your support of this endeavor. I do hope your own sales continue to be strong. Do you only sell suitcases, or are you planning to diversify?

And yes, I'd be delighted to have the honor of employing you as a designer. I so look forward to seeing what you'll come up with.

I haven't sold anything online since putting those remaining suitcases up for purchase. I was so surprised at how fast they went!

I aim to not disappoint you, Mr. Ambassador. I look forward to collaborating with you once again!

I see. Perhaps you could start your own line of products and sell them online, if the suitcases were that successful? Online stores have very low overhead.

I look forward to it as well. We don't have any colorful designs now, but I am certain you'll be able to make up for that lack. We received a lot of feedback on the coupon you designed! People were quick to take note of its vivid hues.

Well that's definitely something to consider. Thank you for the suggestion, Mr. Ambassador.

Oh! Did they? That's wonderful news! I'll make sure my next designs are extra colorful so they won't be disappointed!

You are very welcome, Ms. Teneiro. I have seen a lot of people selling their products from online shops, so perhaps it would work for you as well.

Ah--more colorful? That could be interesting. But please, don't feel that you need to push yourself. The current level of colorfulness in your designs is quite substantial.
