What did you do with your Z today IV

onzedge · 06-14-2012, 09:57 AM

I have nothing planned for the Z's today. The last two days were amazingly brutal. 9 hours of presentation Tuesday and Wednesday with only a 30-minute lunch is pretty tough for an old guy like me. This was the culmination of a few months’ worth of work and now we get to wait and see what they decide.

The drive home from Menlo Park, dropping one of our guys at SFO on the way, was big joy-time. 125 miles in 3.5 hours. I love the bay area sometimes.

I get bored so I look at cars. Remarkable vehicles I saw, along with their sighting frequency, were:

350Z 14
240Z 1
Nissan Leaf 1
Toyota Echo 4
370Z 0
Ferrari Enzo 0
Nissan Juke 1 (mine)
Assorted Riced-out Acura/Honda/Mitsu 53
Toyota Prius 4,325

brutal. Here I thought the traffic congestion in the GTA was bad. I'll take what we have thank you very much.

How many Tesla did you see?

That's like an average of 35.7 mph.

That completely blows chunks. Hope all went well though! I guess time will tell.

We got some verbal feedback yesterday (I say "we" although it was almost all me). The prospect was amazed at the level of detail we went into, that we used their exact scenarios with their data/records. I wanted to say something like "that's how we roll", but I said "thank you" instead. We often compete against guys who use PowerPoint and screen shots and "blah, blah, blah" to prove business cases -- Lazy, Lazy, Lazy.

When we try to talk people into spending 6 figures with us -- which takes many months, we really want to prove they should.

If I never get to see another PowerPoint slideshow, it'll be too soon. Everybody sees fit to use them. I for one think it shows an amazing lack of imagination... It takes absolutely no brain power to create a PowerPoint slideshow. When i watch one it kinda makes me feel the same as when I see kids with motorized scooters! I just want to yell out the window to cut the engine and push the thing. Maybe there wouldnt be so much childhood obesity then!

Pretty much everything I buy at work end up costing six figures!

hahahaha

it felt wierd. the last time i used one was maybe 8yrs ago? lol how does paper fit through that thin cable??

I hate effing with fax machines. I mess with command line interfaces in routers and switches all day, yet usually wind up screwing up a single page fax.

Thanks and just as soon as i get myself 20 hours of consecutive sleep, I will be engaged in the Z driving and sex thing. I have already set Mrs. Dr. onzedge's expectations, so she is napping now in readiness preparation.
