Its the end of a fairly nice day, I am thinking I might make a clean getaway when Chief Bob rolls around the corner and bellows "We can't save money if all the lights are on outside" and had the nerve to be serious!! Really!! Good thing I didn't burst into laughter, wanted to.
This is the same person who drove us crazy during some really difficult rainstorms a few weeks back (reference post Historic...Half Ass)!
During that week, in addition to drips, creeks and leaks, we were tasked with ridiculous things like having the carpets steam cleaned, having lights on and computers working in offices that aren't all occupied, sending out emails to clean up cubicles, ordering a gourmet lunch and my personal favorite ordering logo bearing umbrellas, so they could walk their existing, visiting client through the rain between buildings while conducting a tour of our campus!
While I will allow one or two of these things may contribute to a clients overall impression, I doubt the logo umbrellas are going to put it over the top for anyone! We could have just as easily saved the money, used your average black umbrella, fed them salad and sandwiches, whipped up a couple swag bags and booted them out the door! don't fool yourself, people are serious about swag bags!! Love them, scheme for them, like samples in the grocery store!
Blink and you miss it sometimes...we're back to saving money ;) <-meant to be a wink!
And we're off...
