Yay! However...news like this causes me to wonder, if I may be so bold, why did you go to law school and where do you think that went wrong for you? I'll elaborate: I'm thinking of going back to school to become a CPA.

The decision to put the law stuff on hold was a personal decision based on a couple of things.
1) I had a very shiny job at a very prestigious place with all the trimmings. I had challenging work, very kind & smart colleagues. But I just wasn't happy.
2) I was going to school at night and liking that alot better.
3) I was thoroughly exhausted.
In tandem with the antiques job, I will be going to school part time to get some prerequisites for Master's degree in Art History to start Fall 2006. I don't know if I will be leaving behind the law completely, or just refitting for specialized work elsewhere in intellectual property. I really don't regret law school at all because I will always use that stuff.

I'm so proud of her. They didn't even advertise - Eve just decided she wanted to work there and made it happen.

I love Asian folk art, and if I'm ever in the market for some, I'd enjoy patronizing the place a hatracker works Posts: 15770 | Registered: Dec 2001

Hey, no problem--I think their website is still in development, tho. I will send it around when it's up and running.

I know its not part of your work, but if the chance comes up, you might encourage your bosses to avoid the gratuitous use of frames such as they have on the page.
For why, here are two pages that are high on a google search for just the word "frames"

I have resolved to never, ever, ever link to a website I have designed here, just in case Russell might comment on it. Posts: 37449 | Registered: May 1999

One of the reasons I'm pretty decent at web design, and particularly at useability and accessibility, is I try to find people to rip into my pages at times.
BTW, while I suspect the "if you have to ask" principle is at work here, would you mind giving some examples of prices on smaller items, Eve? Perhaps the "lower end" of chairs?

Fugu, seriously, when you're in the market for Asian antiques, go see them in person and be very careful. It's fairly easy to get rooked; it's happened to me. It was an expensive lesson.

I'm willing to pay more for an assurance of authenticity; also, I intend to shop somewhat among "modern antiques" produced by the various japanese living treasures (hideously expensive in most cases, but it'll be worth it).
I wouldn't be looking into anything hugely expensive, not until I get rich, rich, fabulously wealthy, but at several points in the next decade I'll likely be shopping for some smaller pieces.

Eve is actually at her first class this morning - Buddhist Art and Architecture. She's taking 12 credits of undergraduate pre-reqs to go back for a masters in art history. Most of them are the classes for fourth year undergrads/first year grads.
I think she just likes being more educated than me. I'm catching up, so she's starting a new program.
Dagonee *Not really - she's very happy to be doing this and is very interested in art. She's been translating articles on Egyptian art from French just to practice.
