| trade show, too busy, exhibition hall | 3 Feb 2008 |
| Sorry, but Angus Kennedy is far too busy to talk to you this month! by agkennedy | Comment (0) |
Are there any days of the year left, I wonder, when we are not so busy preparing for something, that we cannot simply enjoy the present? The switchboard is flashing - an important customer wants to talk - but, OH NO, we are far too busy, preparing to puff ourselves up and make our companies appear bigger than they are, for just a few days in an exhibition hall.
We throw cash at these monster shows like bread to the ducks. Is it me, or are shows becoming increasingly quieter, and more expensive? Surely it must be worth it. Just look at the sleep deprivation we endure when our flight is late, or when we are forced to listen to some nutter through the hotel walls with his TV on full volume, just because he has jet lag. The lack of sleep is administered in such brilliantly perfect doses that we are far too tired to tend to our customers after the show, let alone the kids?
