Black looks great on you Mrs. Esterline. It’s very slimming.

I’m not feeling very insightful / relevant today. So in lieu of posting something insightful / relevant, I thought I’d list a few clever comments laid out at my expense this week. Sure they were basically insults, but they were cleverly veiled insults…

1. We’re trying to keep this project quiet, so you guys are a great fit.
   What?!? Okay, that one was actually pretty funny. And you’re right, we probably won’t be running into Arrington at the grocery store any time soon.
2. Do you guys have your passports up to date?
   Yes, and we’d love to fly out to meet. But, just for the record, S.D. is in the U.S.
3. I checked out your portfolio – looks like you’ve been at it a long time.
   You are correct my web 2.o friend, we come from the old skool.
4. I was surprised. My boss had actually heard of you.
   I guess I should be too, but no need to pour salt on it.
5. Our [site] content needs to be extremely basic, simple enough for a 3-yr old to read. Kind of like yours.
   awesome!
6. I would have guessed you worked out of your homes.
   Um… nope. We’ve been office broken for more than 10 yrs.
7. This site is aimed at the in-crowd. We’ll need to stay involved to make sure we’re hitting the demographic.
   No comment.
8. You’d make a great politician.
   I heard this twice this week, dammit. Guess I need to be more direct.
9. We have some bids from some pretty high-profile shops. You guys are kind of the dark-horse entrant.
   Wait a minute, are dark-horses good or bad?
10. This business isn’t going to make any money for the first couple of years. You know what that’s like, right?
    *sigh*

Okay, back to work.
