That brings back memories... I’ve been there. Once I had to fly up to GR with two Mexican coworkers and get wined and dined by Herman Miller, Hayworth, and Steelcase for several days. I was buying $10M worth of high tech office furniture for a new building in Mexico City

For a $10M order, those companies are VERY nice to a guy... dinners, drinks, harbor cruises in the company yacht, stretch limos, and... Asian girls... One of the more memorable trips of my career... and I wound up buying about $12M worth of furniture....

(I still don’t talk about that one too much... but I still smile...

Sadly, i have never been a $10m customer.

my buddy did put his skytrac through the front window of herman miller while changing the light bulbs in the lobby.

I sent a guy in a pick up truck once about 30 miles to pick up some blueprints from a printing company. He calls me after about 45 mins. I said “did you get there?”. He says “yeah, but you will probably have to come and get me.” I said “why do say that?”. He tells me that as he was turning into their driveway, he hit an oncoming car and our company truck got tossed through their showroom window. I asked if he was okay? He said he was, but he was unsure if anyone else got killed...

I got there in about 15 minutes

No fatalities, other then my boss about killed both him and I when we got back to work 3 hours later with no truck and a really large ticket

Good morning good people!

Morning all! Yesterday was the start of the no coffee thing, a little bit rough but manageable. I've been tapering my intake of caffeine down slowly for the past few weeks. Already sleeping more soundly. It bugs the hell out of me that I've gotten so much more sensitive to caffeine as I've aged, since I genuinely just enjoy a nice (several) cups of coffee, but oh well.

Madwi, praying for your pop!

Not really behind the scenes. Probably just access to one of the private tents. Pretty sure his company is sponsoring one.
