Back to the drawing board I guess.
So, on a recce today, I hand someone my new business card and he looks at it and asks, “Ummm, what is this company you work for? Media.. BOTCH?
Not only did I have to give him a shit-eating grin and tell him he was wrong but I then had to tell the old man that the name was actually Media BITCH!
He then suppressed the ‘riiiight’ look in his eyes and gave me a polite smile and a nod.
Which brings me to something very obvious about names that is good to say out loud to oneself occasionally nonetheless:
Rule Number 1 of Names: If you have to explain them, they don’t work.
P.S. My internet connection for the next few days is limited to the 2-4 kbps my cellular phone paired to my laptop can manage. Want to hear something funny? Airtel’s GPRS service is called (in a huge bout of either optimism or irony) ‘Mobile Office’. Riiiiight!
I miss broadband. Also, while we are on the topic of things I miss, running water.
P.P.S. Regular programming shall resume on Tuesday.
