oh man. i've had some tough days, but never had the ceiling LITERALLY fall in on me. the fact that it fucked up yr computer AND yr food, yet left yr boss, who granted u the privilege of his company by returning from Bangkok, untouched, is ironic...but not the sort that can really be appreciated.
however, karma does work beyond just slipping a coupla points yr way. u posted the link to Ms Mariano's work, and while i'm not as fond of commercial cheesecake as i used to be, she is a rare specimen. u get the feeling u could lightly butter any part of her anatomy, break a raw egg on it and the thing would just FRY. damn.
so i found another link buried in that gallery, check it, hope it helps u forget today and remember that tmrw starts ANEW:

BTW, "fluent English" often is anything but. best to get a Cantospeaker as "fixer" if u have to rely on someone as supplier in an ongoing biz relationship. it may cost u a few bucks, but they will know what level of service is expected, and yr suppliers will know that YOU know--they will also feel more comfortable. for biz in HK u cannot beat Cantofluency and quick mobilephone convos--doesn't matter what it says on the paper. find a fixer. if it's a small thing (managed to get my shower fixed this wknd by a great local guy), OK, muddle through. but for ppl who u rely on, make them comfortable. if they have a real problem, then they will hopefully TELL yr fixer what the deal is, and what a realistic timeframe for the solution is--HKers are practical and reasonable, but many are not comfortable discussing difficult subjects in other than Cantonese, IMHO. ask around, u can find someone who'll help u out.
and look at it this way: things can't get MUCH worse, so they gotta get better, right? send yr parents to Macau!!
