As a frustrated wannabe, I salute you.

But neither of those can beat those moment spent with Pekka on these forums. I'll treasure them forever.

Being dismissed from the list of possible defendants in regards to the CRG matter.

---I mighta just had mine.
Heading to my office at 4:45 on the Friday before Christmas and running into my boss's boss's boss, who congraduated me for being so dedicated He doesn't realize that I was coming back to use the company computer system to post on Poly. .

It's been quite a good year for me:

- I was named one the biggest marketing talents of the country;
- I graduated University; and
- I landed a job at a large company.

Personally the 20 year celebration of marriage to my loving sweetheart and the birth of our second Grandson

Professionally best year this decade in regards to bottom line, due to a very concerted effort in dealing with bad paper

I would like to say Entertainment Wise Apolyton and the Civ related items as well as OT which often challenges me in dealing with a wide range of Trollism's and view points

I have found a darkside need for more Cowbell

- I was named one the biggest marketing talents of the country;

Isn't that something one should be ashamed of?

Dan het bord voor z'n kop van de zakenman

I have to say Marketing is a talent that often goes unnoticed and unappreciated.

I am an Area Manager and see where sometimes opportunities are missed or dismissed and it is a matter of timing and correct presentation that is the failure

Congrats

I mean if you walked into my office and marketed anything, your eyes well..would mesmerize me and I would buy it whatever you are selling

Solid Communication Skills!

Well, last summer there was a major festival cancelled in Belgium the weekend before it was supposed to take place. Me and some other people happened to be another festival at that time and in some sort of drunken impuls we decided throwing a replacement party. Now, this isn't small fry to take care off, we had to find a venue to hold the party, contact artists (including a foreign act who happened to be in Belgium at the time), arrange a sound system, booze, publicity and a whole set of secondary issues. It basically had to be done in 3-4 days. So, we looked like mad for a venue (the rest was less of a problem). At day 3 we had already had gone through finding a venue and losing it, cooperating with another festival where could have our own stage and losing that too. At that point we were still at square zero. We were about to give up when we finally did manage to lock a venue. Then we still had to take care of publicity and find enough volunteers to help in the 2 days before the party was held. In the final hours we still had no clue if enough people would show up to cover the costs. To steal Ferris Bueler's line, I was so stressed out that if you stuck coal up my ass, you'd get a diamond.
In the end about 300-400 people showed up, we netted €750 (most of the time you're lucky to break even) and the party went smoothly without disturbances.

That was a high point for me, trying to the point of despair getting a mid-sized event from the ground in several days' time and pulling it off.

The weeks and months before and after that: well, bleh.

check that... I will not ask for my money back...

I WILL DEMAND IT BACK!!!
