STAGERS BEWARE..AND BE PREPARED
OMG.....staging a vacant this past week.. a condo conversion...the owner of the first floor was all over the place ... unannounced ..just showed up...that was weird in of its self. But then when he charged at me and my assistant as we arrived and I threw a cigarette butt out of the car and he lost it..omg..scary. He was a certifiable loon...he was shaking, erratic, as he charged the vehicle yelling at us that we broke the law with dispensing of cigarette butts. He was even scarier when he shut it off as fast as he turned it on.

WORD TO THE WISE
Hello out there in bloggerville...
My words of wisdom for the day....do not try to do a presentation that requires 4 hours set up on 3 hours sleep, you will sound like a blundering idiot..I did my holiday demonstration on Monday at 9 am, a good amount of people in the audience ... I was so well prepared had a script and all but did I follow it, NO..I was so sleep deprived between oldest son smashing into a tree on Friday night and waking me at 1am....oldest daughter moving thursday before and helping her until 3am...coming home friday and working on display items for the demo..saturday spending all day doing final touches to presentation until 3am....sunday finding out I couldnt get in the barn until monday morning loaded the car until 1am....and then up at 445 to get ready to finish loading car and to the barn I go at 7am..needless to say I wasnt orgainized or prepared for the demonstration...I had a very nice fellow BNI member trying to help me she is in the storage business not the staging or decorating but she did the best she could and she worked very hard and took good direction...thank you gayla. I had invited other disciplines from my bni the flower arranger, the storage people, the caterer, the shaklee rep, etc. and they did an awesome job and I thank them. I want to do it all over again when my kids are behaving and I get some sleep, I truly had a great presentation planned. Please tell me what age do the kids grow up and deal with their own issues on their own. I was on the south shore today collecting my oldest sons belongings out of the truck I paid for in full that he drove into a tree last week...as I dialed 411 for my oldest daughter, for some reason her phone would'nt call 411 do you think it was the 1.50 charge per call? Then we were to head to Ikea together, well guess what that was the highlight of my day and she got wrapped up in her personal stuff and we didnt do it...I begin a new staging job tomorrow...do you think they will be there to help me? I will wait and see...but why should they Mike is driving to and from work and wherever else in my car..cait is at her dads sleeping after I helped pay her rent for the new place I knew she would hate because it is too small and I am here worrying about them...something wrong with this picture. I moved last september I dont remember seeing either of their faces helping me with the move...oh wait I do remember Mike while he was getting paid an hourly wage to do dump runs and mow the lawn....cait where were you? As I packed, trucked and cleaned your part of the house? But oh yes Mom will be there for you...no worries, remember my name is oh damn is it s***ker or is it mom? I will never know in my lifetime.
The babbling idiot stager,
jeanne
oh p.s. Zac dont worry I will be there to get you from football, help you with your homework, drive you to your friends, pick you up from football, stop on my way home from a long day to get you tha video game and make you those pancakes in the morning with lots of butter, little syrup,oh and was it steak you wanted for dinner? Gatoraides light blue not dark ones like I got today..Oh I will run out and get you the clothes you need for tomorrows field trip and chuck will drive your friends home and order the pizza....oh did you say you needed an other lunch ticket and I have a meeting at your school....another note for being late for 2 minutes ... oh your favorite jeans arent clean hold on I will have them ready in the morning...damn your football shirt in your room that stinks needs to be ready by the morning...no problem...dont forget I need to be at my BNI meeting in the morning leaving at 630...but dont worry you dont have to walk to the bus chuck will drive you...and I am heading to boston to work after my meeting...so if you forget anything call chuck he remembers the combo to your locker when he had to get your football gear you left at school...oh one more thing I bought you new deodorant today as you left yours at tims and were using chucks this morning...and all your socks are clean so open your drawer and stay out of chucks.
Also, Mike your work clothes are clean and in your drawers..and I picked up your winter coat in weymouth today at the auto shop so dont worry about being cold tomorrow.
Oh and thanksgiving next week when is anyone telling me what the hell they are doing...should I buy the turkey or head north? It would be nice to know by weeks end.
Thanks,
Your loving mother
