Day 2 at SIDIM and the American Express Fiasco…

May 25th, 2007

What a horrible start to the day as I found out that my last payment to Amex never got there…cancelled checks, wire transfers, customer service reps, ban managers, all of the stuff that makes you crazy, happened to me today.

The show was quiet today, but we had qualitative leads!

Went out with my family and friends to Troika restaurant, it was quite delicious. I had a couple of vodka shots and some wild boar for a main course…hmmmmmmm wild boar….

Time to hit the sack…until tomorrow.

SIDIM trade show Day 1

May 24th, 2007

11:16PM…just got home…..a very busy day at the show, the booth looked great and we were pretty busy for the whole day aside from a few luls. I couldn’t believe how many coffee machine manufacturers there were at this show. The ironic part is that our neighbours are Nespresso, a coffee that our office has been enjoying for the last 3 years!. Saeco and Jura are also well represented at the show. I lost count of how many espressos, lattes and capuccinos I had today, all for free :).

I ended up my day at Schwartz’s for smokedmeat, fries, pickle and black cherry with some colleagues.

I was wondering to myself how an establishment like Schwartz’s could sell their world famous smokedmeat to people around the world, and how amazing that would be.

Anyhow, gonna head off to bed…

The Show Must Go On!

May 23rd, 2007

This is the craziest day, of the craziest week, of the craziest month…of 2007, so far. We are preparing our booths for the SIDIM show which is a very nice Interior Design show.

I have Jason helping me out….what a lifesaver.

Anyhow, need to get back to work.
