      I work as a translator and we prepare all the material in French for the Québec reps. I’ve never been out in the field, but it sounds interesting, if intense.

      Hey, it might be a place to look, especially if you have a bit of experience.

      We get variable pay, salary increase (1-3%), 3 weeks holiday, awesome health benefits, flexible work hours (I’m in from 7 to 3 pm)… I took me a while to recover from my burnout and I was really pissed off at my old boss when I discovered how bad she was, but now, I’m just happy where I am.

        Cheryl, don’t feel ashamed for getting such crap at work; how could you have known? But now that you do, then you’ll know what to expect and ask for.

        I burnt myself out during 3 years, then switched to my current job. I work for a pharmaceutical company, so they do a lot to keep their employees! There are good companies out there, it just takes time to find them.

        Good luck!

          I put a bid on the young one. I like the jade too, but I’m going to try for a lesser price first.

            Thanks. I’m going to call her back and encourage her to contact Susan.

              I just got off the phone with Diana at Green Earth in Burlington, Ontario, and she says she may not be able to carry the line anymore because she doesn’t have a distibutor. Said distributor told her Windstone sold their things directly now and were trying to tone down and become smaller. I told her that was not so and explained the difference between the regular line and the limited production/edition. I also pointed out that she could probably order straight from Windstone, but she was hesitant because the customs duty is a killer.

              What to do? Do Canadian stores need a wholesaler/distributor? What is a wholesaler? Could I become one, like buy a whole bunch, stock them and resale to stores, or would I need an official warehouse?

              Sunhawk, our outing is not looking too good at this point 😥

                I’m thinking about going for the young emerald oriental. Jade and emerald young are the only orientals I like.

                  When I first started my collecting frenzy 2 years ago, I had called all the Green Earth stores in Ontario. One had an emerald emperor. I told my husband and he said, well, why don’t you go for it, since they’re half price (they were getting rid of their stock). That night I dreamed of a green dragon. I had never thought I’d own an emperor! And lo, I now have 2, peacock and emerald, and I think I’m gonna go for the gold.

                    Aaargh! A giant! Man, I’d be so scared he’s tip the paint over 😀

                    I like it. Can’t wait to see it done.

                        You might like Robin Hobb (my favorite is the Liveship trilogy) and Sara Douglass. Glen Cook has good stuff too.

                            I haven’t tried the wolf or the kirin yet, but I did a griffin and a dragon, and found the dragon harder because of all the hard to reach places.

                              I got a beautiful Venetian mask and a bracelet, along with the ubiquitous chocolates. We’re lifting off to Cuba tomorrow, so we’re saving to buy stuff there instead of gifts here.

                                Yeah, i do not know of any stores offhand in the Greater Toronto Area that sell Windstones (Green Earth used to but they stopped a few years ago, which is how i got a few of my gargoyle pieces and my dad was able to get me a Peacock Emperor since they were getting rid of their remaining pieces at a big discount) and it really sucks

                                Try the Green Earth in Burlington. She told me their franchise was different from the others. She still carries Windstone (she still did last summer when I got my Black&Gold male and that’s where I got my Ruby mother). I haven’t called yet for the golds or the emp-peas, but I’m guessing that if she doesn’t have them, she’ll order them.

                                Oh, oh! You know what? We should get together there and raid the place next year! 😀

                                  Did they have an extra peacock young oriental? If that’s the case, can you get it for me?
