Seri...Ha! Jim, you always know just what to say...<br /><br />Seriously, my business this year has been totally wacky: never got the winter "dormant period" that designers usually have to organize the office, reconcile the bank account, update the web site, revisit the business plan, etc. Then spring hits and it's doubly busy - yet in this economy who really feels secure enough to hire an assistant? Truly a state of limbo. At least I have Rochelle and Jim for company.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08851101802601837019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13940439.post-79283013866616941892009-05-23T14:21:14.392-07:002009-05-23T14:21:14.392-07:00I do think you're losing it.

Great further points too...it is always nice to hear another pro say the same things you are thinking...rochelle at PITH + VIGORhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07855392591154241256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13940439.post-51090875094953246152009-05-19T03:35:00.000-07:002009-05-19T03:35:00.000-07:00John, this is right on, especially about being up-...John, this is right on, especially about being up-front with budget. Every clue that we can gather up front informs our design that much better. Designers aren't mind readers, but we're great detectives and problem solvers given something to go on. Thank you for finishing this before YOU disappear for the summer!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
