Find The Boots

Rantings from a few corporate types about life, technology, travel, guns, politics, and everything good in the world.

Shameless Promotion

Tuesday, August 15, 2006

No, no, not your boss who got drunk and ended up Hasslehoffed from the flight out of Gatwick last month and *still* made EVP.

One of our favorite "cool stuff" websites, Uncrate, is having a promotion and giving away very cool shoes (would be comfy for travel, but hard to figure out how to expense them, much less justify wearing sneakers you can't work out in) and albums and stuff.

So, go over there from over here and check them out. And maybe I'll win some new sleds.

Sorry for the mid-day post, go back to your powerpoints and conference calls. More political rants and cool products tomorrow morning as usual.

Bump and update: A reader emailed me to bemoan the lack of professionalism on this blog. I can only assume that she hasn't been reading for very long. That's actually a source of pride around here.

She also made a highly improper suggestion about our relationship with the people from Uncrate. Two thoughts: One, I am married and Two, people blogging in their PJ's aren't all that attractive anyway.

Find The Boots

An executive goes on a business trip. When he arrives, it's raining cats and dogs. To avoid ruining his shoes, he purchases a pair of galoshes for $15, which he expenses under "Misc." on his expense report. A week later, the accounting department rejects his expense report, with a post-it note that says that the company does not reimburse for items of clothing. The next trip, the executive turns in an expense report without the galoshes, but with a post-it note that says "FIND THE BOOTS!".
