If you can’t laugh, what’s left? For everyone who has been in a client pitch.

Client Review Lament Song

~ John Carson, Senior Digital Media Specialist, GCI Canada

I just enjoyed a cottage weekend away in the Six Mile Lake area with some good friends, including a couple visiting us from the U.K. We wanted to show them some non-Torontonian parts of Canada. It was an excellent chance to switch off the computer, cellphone and CrackBerry, and do some social notworking.

You remember that, right? It’s when you take a break from the online world, and actually talk face to face with people, without the aid of a Twitter account or text messaging. You are being social, but you’re not working.

We “poked” a few steaks on the barbecue, listened to the birds “tweeting” in the trees and “downloaded” a few beers. The cottage was “myspace” for the weekend, and my “friends” were really, well, friends.

So, back in the office today, catching up and scanning what I missed. This is working, back to it.
