overheard

jim is a guy i've worked with for well over three years. he has a degree or two in architecture and has fine taste in furniture and design and the like. he is married and also has a really super cute daughter named whitney who is 1.5 years old. he would like to have an eames lounge chair, but they retail for $3000. i told him i thought he could find a great deal on ebay, which he did -- $600! he's trying to think of creative ways to purchase...

marya: you could get whitney a job.
jim: doing what? Official Take Your Shit Out Of Every Cabinet and Drawer Person?
marya: or making Nike running shoes...
