we will make your dreams come true... you want a pink pony hair ottoman im your girl!

Okay so I know its been enough about my interior designer life. But sometimes this job does pose its challenges, like today. i got a call from montreal today from a woman asking about a chair from a company called varier. well the furnature isnt stuff we would sell from our store... i wish... but its to modern. Anyways, i look it up and apparently they usto have a warehouse in canada eventhough they dont technically distribute to canada yeah its weird i know! whatever... becuase we once sold this furnature and were the only people in canada to have sold it. which was only becuase one of melindas friends wanted the furnature and so melinda opend an account so that she could order it for her. but becuase we had sold a bunch of it to melindas freind, when the lady called the company about how to get it... they told her to call us... it sounds wierd but its not... with most furniture companys you cant just buy it from the web site... you call them they tell you who sells it you call those people and tell them what you want and then they call the company and tell them what the people wanted the first time they called... it doesnt make sence to me either but thats the rules right? right... well i found the chair on their web site and got all the numbers i need to order it after calling them with our dealer number and guess what! they dont have a warehouse in canada anymore becuase we were the only ones who knew about it... or at least how to get it... whihc is funny becuase its huge in europe... which i know it is... because as soon as i saw the stuff i recognized it from magazines like walpaper who are all about the cutting edge modern design. and like i've seen tons of knock off versions of it around here... but its not the same stuff. its like buying a coat that looks like marc jacobs and owning a coat that acutally is marc jacobs... its close but its just not the same... but that argument makes more sence with furnature than it does with clothes... anyways the point of this story that i have to figure out how to get this stuff shipped from one of 22 european countries who "might" be willing to ship to edmonton ... and then get it to montreal after that ha ha ha... awsome! im so glad we cater to special ordering! ha ha ha so i have to call luxembourg, switzerland, denmark and every other euro place under the sun trying to get some one to ship this stuff out here... its kinda fun but kinda stressfull becuase its like a game and a challenge and in some ways its just more work than i wanted to deal with while doing exams... you know how it is... anyways the chair is really awsome... and i kinda want one now that i've seen it maybe it was the guy in the picture looking so peaceful and content... who knows... i think it looks pretty damn inviting dont you? check it out they even show you the ways you can sit in it if you go to the functionality link at the side of the page... its cool you can sit straight or reclined... basicly its like a lazy boy that closely emulates zero gravity... but its not ugly like most lazy boys are...
