I work for an architectural design build firm and we have this new residential project that's going to involve a lot of blasting out of some solid rock for a foundation for the house of this Wall Street Billion dollar fund bigwig. So blasting in exclusive residential areas takes some time - we have to get all sorts of permits and ok's from the Town and State, etc...
So Mr. Big Wig's wife just calls and asks: "This whole permit process is taking too long, can we just buy some dynamite on the black market and get started?"
I just stared at the phone and realized I have absolutely nothing in common with rich folks. Nothing.
I need a new job.

from the same species.
"only the little people pay taxes"
people think they can buy anything with money and normal rules don't apply.
turn that bitch into homeland security for wanting to buy dynamite on the 'black market'... btw... that's racist bitch!
haha.

i'm reading between the lines here... what you're saying (asking) is, you have a rich client and you're looking for some dynamite?

Are you sure she wasn't being facetious.
I'd probably say the same thing if I were waiting for my house to be built, I'd only be half kidding.
Maybe that means I will be rich one day

I just had a guy call me interested in my services as a "designer". He went on about how he wanted to sell shirts (not out of the back of his trunk, mind you) but to shop them to stores to be picked up. he said he plans on preparing about 240 pieces in various sizes, colors, designs.
I asked him to send examples of artwork he is interested in emulating so i could tell him if my style could help or not. he said he doesn't have anything to show me, it's all in his head. I then ask him to email written or sketched descriptions of colors, sizes, locations, design elements, anything to communicate what he is interested in seeing. he said he didn't understand what i meant.
i told him to just email me if there was anything he thought i could help him with. i mean WTF!? what can I say to that?

Version6 you ARE the designer, YOU are supposed to know what he wants.
