That's one way to raise capital I guess.Total lack of management skills happening...and I'm just grabbing my ankles. It's not even an engineering project!
It had to be a perfect storm of me just finishing the "what people are doing when" thread and coming to this one, but that got a genuine LOL from me, and is probably the funniest thing I've read on the interwebs in a while.How much does 54 seconds cost?
our company was hosting a conference for clients only at our offices last year. we flew our consultants in from across the country, but the RSVP's were light. Someone decided to cancel the conference 2 days before. it made no sense since our consultants had already paid for the tickets. word didn't get out to everyone so of course clients were showing up all day for the conference so we had to scramble to throw a half assed conference together. My boss was sooo pissed that they decided to cancel the conference.here's the rest of the story- it's a conference that has my name all over it. I have two weeks to raise $30,000 in sponsorships or it's canceled a mere 6 weeks before it happens. We already have people registered, speakers arranged, etc. Total lack of management skills happening...and I'm just grabbing my ankles. It's not even an engineering project!
Grr....any of you rich consultant types want to sponsor a conference? Please?

I noticed you have the fighting Sea Bees emblem for your avatar. Are you a Sea Bee? I was a BU when I was enlisted - stationed at Port Hueneme and then did my reserve time out of NAS Jax in NMCB 14.Yuck! That must have made for an el crap day.

Congratulations sir!I am pinning on a lovely gold bar in about one month. CEC Officers wear their rank on only one collar since we are restricted line even though we are the only ground combat force the Navy has other than the SEALS. My unit is NMCB 23, but they have not yet determined which detachment I will drill at.
