An Unordered List of Thoughts I Had During a Conference Call with a Potential Client Today:
– There’s no way in hell this is going to be under thirty minutes. Why are you lying to me? It’s not possible. You know it’s not possible. You are a liar, sir.
– God, I wish I’d been paying attention in college when they went over the definition of “synergistic” in English and “how to leverage it” in Business… Oh yeah, I didn’t go to college. That’s probably why I use regular words and thoughts to describe how I want to create a product and then make money on it. And why I know you can’t “leverage” anything, given that it’s a noun.
– IF YOU SAY “Drink the Kool-Aid” ONE MORE GODDAMN TIME, I’M GOING TO BURST THROUGH THE WALL AT YOUR OFFICE, KILL YOU IN A VERY UNSIGHTLY AND BLOODY WAY, AND THEN SCREAM “Oh, YEAH!”
– Facebook isn’t the internet, dipshit.
