Small Victories..

Sometimes it's the little things that make you smile. Yesterday I decided to bin my subscription to Sky. There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth amongst the little people, but that was to be expected. I have, in fact tried to cancel Sky before, but somehow when I put the phone down I was still a subscriber, albeit with a cheaper package. So this time I was fully expecting to get the full scripted sales job again. True to form, as soon as I mentioned cancelling my subscription I was transferred from Mumbai to Scotland, where a warm caledonian voice seemed genunely hurt that I wanted to leave. The script kicked in, and when I was asked why I was leaving I simply said that I was watching too much tv. Cue a slight pause "Er.. em.... ok then." Seems that this isn't a standard response covered by the scripts. Result.

Friday saw one cancelled meeting and one delayed meeting, resulting in much frustration. Frusration resulting in too much wine, resulting in a hangover on Saturday. Way to go.

But, in the spirit of "keep on keeping on" another meeting due this afternoon.. Sunday working - who'd have thought it?

Well, meeting over and it finally looks like we've got a little traction with interesting developements coming out of left field... optimism is finally moving up the scale into positive values.
