The first snowflakes fell today and with Halloween only a week away, you know that’s awfully early for that white fluffy stuff! What can you do though? - complain to a friend in a warmer state; moan and hunker down, I suppose. In my thoughts of this week that was, I wonder one, if anyone out there is reading my posts, two, what kind of idiot thinks floating a UFO in Colorado will get them a reality TV show, and three, how important it is to try the cow’s milk before purchasing the entire cow.
Seriously, is anyone out there reading this? Am I just complaining to the empty airwaves? Want to comment on something I posted? Hate the fact I hate ASI? Can’t stand my weather reports? I encourage you to post a comment; I’d love a verbal spar! So unless you are like Jonah Hill in Superbad, sitting around all day drawing pictures of man dicks, post something.
Now that I have that off my chest… can you believe the utter stupidity of the Heene’s and the story of a boy trapped in man-made UFO? If you don’t know what I am talking about, you probably have the swine flu, so go check your symptoms (http://www.cdc.gov/flu/swineflu/key_facts.htm), and get in line with all of the others. Seriously though, do you know how many countries hate us and take this news and make a mockery out of us for it? Can you blame them? Is ANYONE going to take us seriously anymore? We are like the boy who only cries wolf. May be that’s why those stupid 3 wolf moon shirts (http://www.amazon.com/Mountain-Mens-Three-Short-Sleeve/dp/B002HJ377A), are so damn popular. Maybe we should each be issued one at birth so that everyone knows that we are so full of crap-o-la, it takes three wolves to paint this Picasso.
The sad fact of this story was that you could not get away from it; it was plastered all over the news and every channel, even those afternoon infomercials about get rich from your couch, were not even on. You see, I took the day off to attend a wedding in Philadelphia, and then one day I have some time to sit and watch TV, I have to listen to that? I have to say, the silver lining for me was Nancy Grace’s hot flash on live TV. TV can’t get much better than that.
Now, more to point, if US college grad scientists are this brilliant now (note Mr. Heene is a scientist), what will be like in 5, 10 years? Where will we be then? It’s like every day you hear a new story about our most brilliant people being so stupid. I don’t get it but the one thing I do get, is that stories like this taint not only my opinion, the young, and the others throughout the world.
And my third thought of the week is about the whole cow buying situation. I am not old enough to know that the long term effects of living with a girl before you get married, or the success ratio of couples who slept together before getting married, but in business it is a great practice to try things out before you purchase them. This is especially true when it comes to advertising specialties. As the co-owner of qualitylogoproducts.com, I sometimes have to take the unfortunate call of an upset customer that did not like the product they ordered. It’s always a tough phone call to take because we pride ourselves on always taking care of a customer and doing whatever we can to make the situation right. But when the CSR does everything correct, production prints the goods to spec, and they arrive on time you are left with few options. The best solution for this problem, you ask? It’s being proactive before the order begins, maybe like ordering a sample?
You see, here at QLP we have a large staff of sales reps who want nothing more than to make your next promotion a success in every way for you. So use us, tell us about your goals, and we will make suggestions to marry your price point with a great promotion! And, if you are too busy, we understand, do yourself a favor and get a sample, test out that milk, because once you buy that cow, you are stuck, and a divorce ain’t pretty, just ask Jon Gosslin, he knows!
And that my friends is how Mike sees it.
