Spent several hours this afternoon at the offices of a client, being subjected to PowerPoint-based 'research findings'. Information that could have been conveyed in about six slides was endlessly reiterated and stretched into a hundred slide coma-inducing festival of boredom (in order for the research house to justify their enormous fee).
Despite the fact that the client in question is one of the world's largest purveyors of coffees, bottled waters, milkshakes and many other beverages, there wasn't so much as a paper cup of tap water on offer during this three-hour ordeal.
This is very bad form indeed. At
our offices there's a hospitable tray of cold drinks, bottled water, tea and coffee at the ready whenever a meeting is booked.
There's also a plate of assorted biscuits doing the rounds, but as these are served by the catering woman with the leprosy-type skin disease on her toes and fingers it's probably safer to resist them.
