Anti-Climacus

SO: I went to my first business pitch today, for (hold your breath) new software for the library. Fascinating, I know. Well, after two hours of talk about MARC files and webite interface options, all I wanted to do was leave. As quickly as possible. In all honesty, I felt bad for the guy-- no one gave him good directions (it's not as if getting around in Ann Arbor is hard if you don't know how to do it), and he was obviously frazzled by losing about 45 minutes of time for his pitch. Fortunately, his complete and total lack of knowledge for what we were looking for and his ineptitude when it came to presenting his software saved the day, at least for me. Because, let's face it: if you can't laugh at someone else, who can you laugh at?
