For Winos and French Speakers

---

I don't understand why you can't tell him.. I don't know what the hell that thing is. If you can't tell me, it's not going to be done?

Apparently he doesn't want the client knowing that we don't know what it is he (the client) is asking for. This is supposed to be our area of expertise... not wine but this service type of design.It's still stupid though. I would think it's better to ask now and do it right than miss it.

By him, I meant your boss.

This all sounds like a Dilbert comic strip. Maybe you should send it to them.

on another note: How are you doing Scotty healthwise? I think I'm starting to understand the stress you mentionned in a few posts.

This has been a-buggin' me all day. I was sitting in a class, trying to focus focus focus and all I could think about was counters and wine... I thought of carafe also, but Bob up there got it first.

Dilbert would have made something up. :smile:

There are lots of 'wine cube displays' - a possibility?

A further thought - if you're supposed to design or make or buy one, shouldn't you know the size, capacity and preferred material of this thing? That might at least give you a clue what it is.

Or give you an excuse to contact the client.

He knows I don't know what the hell it is. The stupid part is he doesn't know what the hell it is either and refuses to ask and won't let me ask. I'm just supposed to figure it out.

I have to design the back bar around it. Hence the reason I need to have some fuckin' idea what the hell it is. I doubt it's just a cabinet because I've designed in a whole wine cellar and four 600 bottle capacity display cabinets already. It's gotta be some sort of chiller or serving device.

He doesn't want me contacting them to ask about this.

I'm past caring. I'm just gonna call somebody today, if I can figure out who the sommelier is, and take the ass chewing that'll be dished out later.

Thanks for asking.
It's alright I guess. I go back to the doc on the 25th to see if the shit in my head has been growing any or fuckin' up my hormones. My blood pressure's been out of sight but that to be expected given all the shit I've got going on now. I still have the vertigo shit but it doesn't seem to be as often.
Yesterday sucked I was fuckin' tired and had to go punch a job with my boss and the stupid bitch I work with. All the way down there, an hour and half ride, I had to listen to how Obama is developing a force of secret police to spy on the American populace and put all who oppose him in prison, or some such shit. It must be true Rush said so... Jesus.
Fortunately I had work to do on the lap top so most of the time I could tune 'em out.

I think I know what this is. It's like a portable wine cabinet that sits on a table/counter top. I found a link to one, but couldn't get it to post the link. Now I've forgotten how I spelled it and can't find it! I'll keep trying.

Something like this? Portable Wine Cellar or Wine Cabinet

The one I saw was small (as to sit on a counter), wooden, and more open. But I don't know enough about them to know how one is distinguished from another.

well, I've taken my partial knowledge of French, extensive knowledge of wine and the special research skill that only a dislexic speller posesses and I'm afraid I still came up blank.I went at if from the angles of French phonetics, brand names, wine regeons... nothing.you boss sounds like a boob. Really, if you need to design something around a specific item, it's it reasonable to want to see it in person... measure... photograph?
