Being the Little Guy

Sometimes being the little guy in business has it’s perks - for one the big fish ignore you thinking your simply a fish they need not worry about - and I suppose for the most part that’s true - but in my case, I want big guy toys for my customers - for instance this constant search for spam filtering has left me wanting to drive to these companies and strangle someone.

I just love calling a company to have them go “Yeah?” as the response to being transfered to a guy in the sales dept. and have him instead say “Bob in Sales, how may I take your money?” I mean honestly, that’s what I want them to do, I have 3 companies coming in with me to look at anti-spam functions for our customers, me leading the way in total volume of accounts, but the spread helps everyone’s budgets - but in this company who will remain nameless (you know who you are bad anti-spam folk) - I just felt like they didn’t want a sale.

But that didn’t stop me, got on with my day, had lunch with Rosie, was interviewed on the news, hung out with matt, got some t-shirts (woohoo!) and arranged a lesson on the joys of SSH access with a friend, so it’s good stuff, and considering I am running on less than 4 hours of sleep, and its coming up on 1:30am, I think its time to wrap up, close the MBP, and enjoy the bliss of sleep - I am skipping a big part of my evening, but short end — work, car, jake, wow, food, relax, work, fix, work, studio60, now blog, then sleep. I think there was a Jon in there too - sorry Jon, I need sleep. Night all.
