Darius Hard At Work (Photostory)

Well I decided to put the shelf unit on the wall in Darius' office. I still plan to make him a slightly bigger and more manly desk.  This desk will be Tina's.  I just threw a piece of wood on the back to make it a little more manly for this story.  I also played around with changing the time on the clock in the background.  It seemed like a good idea at the time, but since the clock is in every shot, I had to change it in every shot.  We won't be doing that again.  LOL.

It's a little after 10am and Darius is preparing for an 11am meeting.

"I have those files you wanted."  (Autumn)
"Okay.  You can sit them on the desk."  (Darius)

"Is everything set for the meeting and lunch?"  (Darius)
"Yes.  They are delivering lunch at 11:30."  (Autumn)

"That's perfect.  Can you ask Chang to come in here for a minute?  Thanks."  (Darius)

"Hey, what's up?"  (Chang)

"Were you able to add those changes to the diagrams.  I know it was last minute."  (Darius)
"I got most of them done, but there are a couple that I need her to explain."  (Chang)
"Okay.  Just as long as we are talking from the new diagrams.  Thanks."  (Darius)

They discuss a couple more things before Chang heads back to his office.


"Ahem."  (Jordan)

"Hello Jordan.  Nice to see you."  (Darius)
"I hope you don't mind me coming in.  Autumn was on the phone and I slipped past her."  (Jordan)

"No problem. How are you today?"  (Darius)
"I'm good.  I'm anxious to see what you guys have to show me."  (Jordan)
"Well let me walk you to the conference room."  (Darius)

"Lunch will be served at 11:30.  That will give us time to go over the plans in detail.  Then we can continue working through lunch."  (Darius)

The meeting with Jordan lasted a little over an hour.  She was pretty pleased with what Darius and his team was envisioning.  Afterwards, Darius left the office to go check out a few locations.  He returned about 3 pm to finish up some more paperwork.

Terrance stops by Darius' office at the end of the day.
"Another day comes to an end."  (Darius)

"Yes.  I'm thinking about stopping by The Den.  You feel like grabbing a bite to eat?"  (Terrance)

"Oh I can't today.  I'm having a very special dinner with Nikki."  (Darius)

"Oh yeah?  What makes it so special?"  (Terrance)
"She's paying."  (Darius, chuckling)

He goes on to tell Terrance about the golf game he and Nikki played.  Oh well.  I guess Nikki lost.

Back at the condo, Nikki is trying to figure out which shoes to wear.  

Tomorrow there will be a quick story featuring the Burkes, again.  Kendra is feeling much better.

    1. limbe dolls - That carpet fabric was purchased many years ago. I was supposed to be making some real people accessories. I have a beautiful coordinating material that goes with it. I may still make some real pillows with it.

  11. So Nikki lost - what a pity. I hope they enjoy their special meal. Darius' office suits him better now. I must admit I didn't notice the clock on my first reading, I was too interested in the story so I had to go back and check it out - great detail.

  12. I really like the way you did Darius' office. It's casual, comfortable, simple and clean. Professional without being stuffy. I admire your attention to detail. Once again, great job! Hope you got thru last night's storm OK. :-)

    1. Cindi - Thanks. Darius is very approachable and he wants his office to reflect that. Wasn't that storm something else? We only got the thunder and lightening. None of the other stuff I've heard about. Hope you faired well.

  13. I wonder if I would have noticed that the time was changing if you hadn't said anything. Well nice touch. I thought "special" meant Darius was getting ready to propose and I was going to say you coulda gave a sista a heads up. Cute shoes.
