My coworker called to ask me for some promo items (stuff like pens, notepads, etc.). She wants to give them to an organization to include in a gift basket. I explained to her that we were really short on items right now and can't order more til September. I also explained that I have two big shows coming in the next month so I need to reserve what we have for that event. Then I told her I could give her a couple of coffee mugs.
She said she didn't want to look chintzy and asked again for the ink pens. I told her again why I couldn't give her any. So then she said she would take the mugs, but talk to my boss about it. I said "fine, talk to him." And hung up.
Man, is it Saturday yet?
