my experience with florist#2 - the sequel Saturday, October 02, 2004 mood:
surprise of surprises, but florist#2 called me today (or yesterday rather, to put it more accurately). i was actually in a meeting the whole morning, and when i checked my voicemail when i got back, florist#2 left me a message. she said that she has some ideas and a final quotation on the price, and to call her back. so i did. out of courtesy. this is what she gives me: tulips for my bouquet (forget the peonies or the callas) roses for all the other bouquets of my entourage 25 centerpieces of roses and JUST A FEW lillies a floral arrangement for the entrance with roses and JUST A FEW lillies roses and JUST A FEW lillies for the cake and cake table crysanthemums for my basket of flowers for the offertory backdrop with roses and JUST A FEW lillies take note that i stressed on JUST A FEW, since these were her exact words. they're not even calla lillies, but stargazers. didn't i say i wanted callas?! do we admire her listening skills or what?! the damage? she quotes me 5K higher than the original budget i gave her. for roses?!?!?! and JUST A FEW lillies?!?!?! what the fuck?!?! |
