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?!?!

why The Schmucks?

- We've decided to revolutionize the term. It's now a term of endearment. Before Roland & Tin became "Roland & Tin," we were very good friends with a dysfunctional sense of humor. I called him a schmuck, he called me a schmuck. Thus, The Schmucks were born. Now we're on our way to becoming Mr. & Mrs. Schmuck. Ain't life grand? -
