Too Legit

Friday I had a late meeting on a job site.  I was not thrilled to have to attend because our office closes at 1 on Fridays and this meeting didn't start till 2:30.  Luckily the meeting was with clients that I like and meetings are usually pretty entertaining.  As we're stitting there in the job trailer discussing the millwork details I specified, I realize that I've got the attention of the job superintendent, the owners CFO, CEO of construction, 2 sub contractors and the project engineer and they're all hanging on every word I'm saying.  At one point the CFO said "it's you're choice, do what you want".  And then I looked over at the big table they have all their site and construction docs on and the 2" thick set of drawings was turned to MY page with all the details and schedules I had done.  And for the first time in my career I really felt like a REAL designer, like someone was taking what I'd designed and building around it not just fitting in some of the details where the budget would allow.  I'm the bomb.com around here I guess!
