the diference between public relations and design
yesterday was the first in this years “Merlot Summer Series” where we all get around for a few appetizers and libations after a hard day of work and less than 5 minutes into the event and i noticed a large difference between myself and the rest of the crew here at Merlot. here is how it went…
the waitress came up and asked everyone what they would like to drink, and as every one was ordering the typical questions came up “what do you have on draft?”, “would you like that blended or on the rocks?”, “are you sure you want to drink Coors Light?”, etc… then when it was my turn i told the waitress that i would like a classic margarita on the rocks and she responded with what size. my reply was to hold my hands out in front of me slight less than shoulder width apart. the waitress understood and moved on to the next person.
after she left everyone laughed at my answer to how big i wanted my drink. it made me realize that the difference between spoken/read language and visual language is the major difference between the rest of the Merlot team and myself. i am sure they will have a lot to say about that and i have just one response…
