    Just got an email from some random SW company:

    Following the recent introduction by XXX, I would like to propose a meeting to discuss our working together to advance backhaul optimization.

    Please find appended a link to the XXX video presentation which provides a demonstration of the new capabilities.

    We could perhaps have an initial conference call on Thursday morning and then meet early next week?

    I look forward to hearing from you

    Kind regards,

    And a link to a 17 minute video of paint drying, or possible it could have been a product demo, I didn’t have the patience to wait and find out…..

    WTF – does he really think I’m going to waste 17 minutes of my time watching a video which can’t even highlight a USP in the first 10 or so seconds?

    XXX video presentation

    You can’t watch 17 mins of a XXX video? Why not? Loss of 😀 interest after 2?

    Never realised you worked in the porn industry, you must have some “unique” tastes if you found the video he sent dull 😀

    Edit: shakes fist at winston and composite…

    was there a man dipping nything in a jar of honey…i hear it has anti bacterial properties

    Loss of interest after 2

    the first two minutes contain the incredibly elaborate storylines and usually worth watching as they set up the whole film seriously even if you miss them they all make sense in the end

    Edit: shakes fist at winston and composite.

    whatever you can get away with it at work go for it HERO

    17 minutes is actually very amateurish by this standard

    To be fair I wouldn’t last 17 minutes these days either.

    Well I would post a link to YouTube, but it’s a private video and only plays if you have a specific invite. Not that I’d wish to burden you with 17 minutes of drivel on backhaul optimisation……

    What the jeff is backhaul optimization? *

    * deliberate use of z because it annoys people who think s is correct but in fact they are both correct.

    I could tell you, but then I’d have to kill you and use your body for the bench press….
