Business expo day!!!!!

Yes, it's that day once a year when everyone in the office heads down to the conference room in the building to grab all the goodies that are offered by companies hoping that you will step up to their booth and consider buying/trying their product that they sell.


The list of goodies that I saw:

Mints
Candy
Yo-yos
Magic 8 ball (with corporate insignia of course)
Foam stress balls
Pens
Pencils (including recycled material pencils)
Hi-liters
Game pieces where you can win an Ipod.
Raffles for DVD players, computers, computer accessories, etc.
Food

I'm sure that's not everything, but it is a good sampling. Probably the neatest product they had down there was a communication PC to be used between deaf people and others. Really neat stuff. They did not have any products down there to help with communication between spouses, so I guess I have to work on that on my own (you can never be good enough at that). Best of all, we got to do something other than work for roughly an hour or so. Certainly no reason to complain about that.
