client request

so we're meeting with a client today and i get a phone call from him.

phone rings.

client: "hi 'monkeyboy.'"

pota: "hi 'mr. very important client whom i must talk all proper to so that i can make a good first time impression with you and represent the firm and the man and show how we are very good at kissing client's arses because we do whatever clients tells us to do sir.'"

client: "thank you for the drawings you emailed yesterday, i just have a couple of comments."

i space out....

client: "blah, blah, blah, blah, blah."

pota: "what's that!? okay sir, i'll get right on it and make those changes."

client: "thank you. so i guess i'll see you this afternoon."

pota: "yeah, i'll see you later."

client: "one other thing. could you drive to the meeting and not let the man drive that way you guys we'll be ON TIME."

pota: "ha, ha, ha , ha (over exaggerated fake laughter). i'll let the man know. thanks mr. client guy. see you this afternoon."

end call.

it's always nice to do a little trash talking about the man with the client right before you meet the client for the first time. he knows who's really in charge of the project and does all the work. monkeyboy 1, the man 0.
