Default And on that note...

A BIG round of applause!

All things in IC universe are right again.

Back to the subject line of "have you ever felt embarrassed..." I had the experience today of being embarrassed for a room full of professionals. There is a real deficit of intellect in our corporations and professional services.

There should really be a class called Google and how to use so you don't look clueless in front of your clients.

Met with a very large corporation and their architect on a building they are planning. The corp being the client. They wanted to try a new product in their building (which our company does not sell by the way) so I spent about 12 hours researching and getting familiar with the subject.

About five minutes into the meeting it was pretty clear that I was the only one in the room who even had a clue what was going on.

ps I was going to use the word Troll in this post but decided not to.
