weekly smart comments

this has been a funny week.  hosted a showroom tour for a nonprofit bank advisory organization and had my first meeting with National Air and Space Museum folks out in Chantilly.
both were very successful and it was super fun to walk around the space shuttle and huge boeing jets up close.  dad would love that place. =)

think i am gonna have to start a smarty comments file.  got a great one from both meetings.

first, was one of the executives at the banking firm.  they were surprisingly fun.  at the second stop we were looking at casegoods for their private offices.  this manufacturer wasn't quite as impressive.  one of the gentlemen really like the modern (mixed materials, metal and glass) desk unit.  he says, but I can see this wont work.  in our industry we prefer to go backwards.  smirk.  haha!

second case, group tour of the NASM facility to view the different areas of furniture installation.  archives, collections, even the place where they restore old war planes for museum use.  so cool.  very, very cool paint booth with windows at the bottom so they can see the bottom of the airplane belly while they are repairing the paint.
currently the departments are spread out over dc and maryland, all over the place really.  walking down the hall and the facilities manager says, yah maryland.  that place is like chernobyl in places.  I used to live there, but i got a visa and moved virginia.  i will keep renewing my visa, i am never living there again.  nice!  i dont care for maryland myself, but that is awesome.  maryland is like a nuclear waste site.  that is high quality! sorry, not trying to drive down house values.  i am sure it is a very nice place to live.  besides the fruits and veggies are just huge!

museum hopping for work.  nasm.

have a great day dudes.
