Possibly it was a good thing for the irritating salesperson to see this?

I immediately wrote to salesperson:

I stand by this even as I intended to write to [colleague]and not you.

I am feeling a little overwhelmed by the emails and phone calls and texts right now as I focus my attention on fully evaluating EDMS systems. I am the lead on the project, and it was unnecessary for you to contact [colleague] when I didn’t return your voicemail as quickly as you wanted (I was in the middle of a session when you called).

I have a minefield to work through at work with senior management, and [colleague] is not the right conduit for communication with senior management, I can assure you.

However, I'm sorry you saw my grumpy email.

He wrote back extremely apologetic and we've worked it out. But whoooo boy what a little panic I had. Until I realized he's the salesperson, not me. He's the one who should worry. That it made it easier to deal with.

Well done, Javachick.

Exactly, javachik. It's unfortunate, but he should know that his tactics might cost him a sale in the future, even if they don't cost him THIS sale.

Why you need to pay attention to height of your trailer. This may be ultimate trailer fail.

Nobody got injured.

Someday I may have to have a can of Spaghettios w/ Franks.

The franks are disappointing. I may need to invest in some good hot dogs and create my own variant.

Gud: amazing no one was hurt!

I'm not entirely sure the franks are even technically food, yet still I like 'em with the franks.

Calli, that is brilliant.

Isn't it just? I got the link from Skippy's List.
