A long day. I got to meet our new clients today, they seemed like nice enough people. There was some sort of mix-up, of course, and the people at Consolidated Industries didn't even seem to know we were coming. I can't remember any of their names - I gave them my business card, and they just handed it back to me, like I was giving them a poisonous mushroom to examine. They were nice enough to find three people who weren't too busy to meet with us and listen to our sales pitch. All three were really quiet, like their lives hinged on every word. We asked them if there was anything we could do to help them, but they just looked at each other and shook their heads. I think if we try again tomorrow we could really get through to them.

Mr. Thurston IM'ed me and asked me if I knew anything about the Industrial Consolidation account. It took me a few seconds before I think I figured out the misunderstanding. Who would think that two huge companies with such similar names could be in a town with only one blinking yellow light? I really started to sweat. I will call them in the morning and apologize. I will explain that since PartyPoker was down all day, that the entire Internet was probably malfunctioning.
