On any given day we will have 20-30 vendors in our buildings. I sell a lot of their shit. Sometimes the vendors walk around and give us stuff. The cooler things would be squeeze balls, nerf guns, staplers, calculators, mugs, thumb drives, pens, fun light up pens, light up cups, energy drinks, candy, slim jims… you know…crazy shit that makes life in a cubicle relatively enjoyable. I saw the coolest thing. It was a USB rocket launcher. It plugs into your USB port and there was computer software that you could position it onto your cubicle wall and through the software, measure, aim, and launch at your enemy. Good stuff.
Well today a vendor walked through and handed me a cardboard beer coaster. Yep, A cardboard beer coaster. Not a fancy light up coaster. Not a cool plastic one, but a cardboard beer coaster with their logo on it.
I can’t wait to use it. It is everything I’ve ever dreamed of. Talk about cheap ass. It just happens to be the least sold vendor in this particular product category and the reason is demonstrated in the .003 cents that they spent to make me think of them vs. the other company that hosted a cubs roof top game and expected nothing in return.
I am sick of money. I will write about that tomorrow.
I just came across a real gem of a blog site and I will blogroll it tomorrow, but check out the sneeze. www.thesneeze.com
I am a huge fan and I will honestly say that I have never been sitting in my cubicle by myself and laughed so damn hard at someone’s writing. I recommend starting with the Steve, Don’t Eat It! section. Funniest shit I have read in a long time. Steve eats stuff that we have always wondered who did, and yep, it’s Steve! Yesterday I laughed so hard that 3 people came to my desk to ask me if I was alright.
Very interesting blog. Are you paying attention to my lucid state I have a nice joke for you people!
