went to see a client for the first time this afternoon and as you walk in the office, just by the door they had a massive donald judd. in the conference room where we met they had a tracey emin self portrait, all twisted gobs of barbed wire and neon in a trough. another really great piece on the wall, still trying to figure out who it was, very familiar to me, but i couldn't place the artist and the bozos i was meeting didn't know who it was, they said it was a new acquisition. man, it was all i could do to pay bloody attention to the naff chat about the investor relations section of their stupid website. geez, so beautiful.

sounds like a nice afternoon para! i wonder who it was? describe?
are you good at disguising when you're not listening? i'm terrible. my eyes glaze over and i have actually fallen asleep in boring meetings before. my boss has clicked her fingers at me to wake me up.
i'm considering getting open eyes tattooed on my eyelids. if they could tattoo open, INTERESTED eyes on my lids i'd do it tomorrow.

ha. brilliant! I do the whole Homer Simpson thing, I can see their mouth moving, but I'm not hearing a thing they are saying and thinking all kinds of strange/amusing things to amuse myself, which is all great, until their mouth stops moving and you realise they are looking at you funny and......
"Oh shit they've asked me question haven't they!!"

it was a bit like botero meets kahlo meets chagall, definitely getting a latin american vibe. felt like a self portrait, main character seated, rotund, fortyish, black hair. black midget to right, skeleton-esque figure draped in bastardised flag form to left. should've made notes! but couldn't look at it much cos it was basically behind me and it was slightly obvious if i stared, so i just focused on the emin instead.
i'm rubbish at paying attention in meetings! i will do the nodding head sleepy thing, and i'm not even tired. it's just like the meeting itself is some sort of soporific. i suspect people of piping some sort of opiate through the central air system just to fuck with me.

Clients are too mean to give out free opium.
