I got a call at work one day from the VP of one of our suppliers. He asked me if I would be interested in taking his place at a "meeting" with one of their product partners. I said that I would, not really knowing what that would entail. He said: "Okay, cool. I'll send over the details to them and they'll contact you by email. Oh, you snowboard, right?" "Yeah, I do..." "Okay, great. Well, have a good time. I can't go and you're the first person I thought should go in my place." **CLICK** I received this email later that day:
Needless to say, I was pretty stoked. I forwarded the email to my boss to ask him if it was cool for me to basically have a day off. His response: "Yes, that's fine. That would be a great chance to talk to them about their products." Me: "You realize I'm SNOWBOARDING, right?" Boss: "Well, I'll pay you 8 hours, but I won't pay you to go to dinner." With that, I shut my mouth and left the room. :)
