"Good morning Marco, I thought I'd give you a call and taunt you with my latest propositions. A client wants me to find a tee shirt." "Hey, what sort of teeshirt is he after, I've got a few in the washing?" "I know this sounds rather simple, but what I have to do is track down 8 of his favorite Formula one drivers and get them to sign it. Melbourne here I come. He wants it as a prize for his feedback column on the Web." "Who is this guy, and how much is he going to pay?" "He's a friend of another client, you remember that dog we had to find, the one whose owners got divorced and he got tangled up in a custody battle? Well it's for her new boyfriend. I've price it up, I figure on charging him around $6000.NZ what do you think?" "That's fair. It'll take at least two to three days, airfares, accommodation meals G.P. tickets, Ric are you getting corporate tickets or standard ones?" "I'll have to get into the pits, so I'll go for a Corporate Pass." "They're around $2000. aren't they?" "Yeah, but I don't mind doing it on the cheap. I'd like more customers like this one." "When are you going?" "We must now wait and see. I'll e-mail him now and give him the price. He's only got a few days to decide, but if he says yes; I'm thinking I'll handle this case by myself. That's if I can escape. I just hurt my back if you can believe it. I hope I don't have to pass this one on. I'll wait a few more days before I give Dave a call." "That's fair enough." "Maybe I'll buy a new camera for the occasion. I've been looking at a Kodak digital camera. It's a DC50 zoom job, then I'll be able to store photo's directly into my laptop whilst I'm away. No more bother with developers. I can't seem to find one any cheaper than $1549.(+G.S.T.) What have you got?" "I've just got a plain DC20. It's a Kodak. Does the trick." "Hey, I could even take photos of the drivers signing his teeshirt, and give them to him as a bonus. I can't believe it's not going to be on SKY this year." "Have you got your quickcam installed yet?" "No, not yet. I really should. But there's never enough hours in the day. It's still sitting there. I've been using the internet phone though. With all these pwoer cuts, it gets a bit hazy though. Hey how's The Sultan? "I've updated the home page for him. I think we may be onto something. Take a look." "I will. Look it, it's Kat, I'd better go. She's waving some papers in my face and is scowling at me. Take a look at the America's Cup Online site. I see they have real video now. Russell Coutts is getting in on it too." "O.K., take care, and nice talking to you." "It still beats e-mail. I'll get onto installing the quickcam, soon." "Do it." "I will, got to go, Bye." "Bye." click. Biographies | Background | Rolodex | Onwards | feedback |
