WTF? That really bites, and makes me wonder if the technical Oscar winners get treated the same way.
Yeah, it kinda blew. I really wanted to try some outrageous eye color, like purple or something. They wouldn't even honor the coupons for the Local's business reps and management, even though we asked them to provide X number of coupons, matching out the number of presenter's bag we assembled.
But they were not public coupons, and they reserved the right to refuse to honor them, which they did. I wonder if any of the actors who were presenters that night even bothered to use them. I suspect not, so they got a great bargain out of the deal. Free advertizing to people who would probably rarely use their services, and no expenditures or handout on their part.
Wankers.
I get no swag.
How many work pens do you have at home?

The splitting of Africa. I want to know two main things: a) what is the line, and b) when will the sea first seep in and not go back.
This is scary and sad - a drug trial goes horribly wrong: [link]
Two men remain critically ill and four others are in a serious condition after suffering a violent reaction while taking part in a clinical drugs trial.
All are still in intensive care in Northwick Park Hospital, north-west London, after falling ill on Monday.
Myfanwy Marshall told BBC News her boyfriend's body was badly swollen and she had been told he could die.
Um, without looking, I'm guessing the line will go through the Great Rift Valley?
When I worked for the School Department, we used to get all the sales conference swag when we went to them, so I acquired a really nice jacket and some nice shirts, but since my little work unit was subsumed into CIT, it's just the occasional T-shirt... and they stopped letting us wear jeans, too.
Long gone are the days when I worked at Lotus, and one of the project managers had the bright idea of code-naming one of the big 123 releases as 'Godiva' which led to some very chocolicious swag indeed.
