Jelly Fishes Love You
You know it's true.
Been awhile since I updated. Not much exciting to say. Work is fine. Family is fine. Garden is getting into the swing of things. Cannas are finally up, as are the cosmos, roses, lilies, and sedum. In bloom are primrose, blue buttons, daiseys, and chives.
Had a long day. John's G-friend came for a visit tonight, and so I wanted to make sure the house was shiney clean. That took the greater part of the morning. After that, I had an appointment at work.
Funny thing about work. I've sort of branched out my design services without meaning to. My usual gig is kitchens, but lately I've done baths, bars, theatres, and most interesting to me, a multi level garden with fire pit and koi pond. I've come to discover that most designers aren't using their CAD programs to their fullest capacity. While a lot of those guys can pop out a B&W wireframe picture, I can't say I've ever seen or heard of a local designer applying textures and movement to their plans. I'm strictly self taught when it comes to drawing in CAD. Yeah, learning it was a bitch, but the look on people's faces when you present them with a fully rendered 3D virtual environment of their new space is pretty cool.
Also cool is when they say 'we love it, let's do it.'
In other news, attended a continuing ed class this week for my certs. Ugh, I'd really forgotten how much I hate long meetings. OTOH, I wore jeans. That's the first time I've worn jeans to a meeting like that. At least I was comfy. :)
That's all I can think of for now.
Take care out there.
