Upon entering the large commercial design firm the receptionist greeted me, asked if I was Mickey and proceeded to tell me that they had twenty-six designers on staff. Each designer was required to be present every Monday when factory reps gave presentations of new their products. My presentation was to be fit in on a Monday. This was in March and the first opening they had was in October. Ooooooo, another lesson learned.
Never having spoken to a large group of designers this brought up some fears. You know what I mean? On my way home I stopped at a book store and bought three books on speaking, by Dale Carnegie. In the interum I painted lots of residential projects and by the time October came around I had a much larger portfolio to show the twenty-six designers.
