How to get rid of pesky salespeople
I was a few steps away from my office door when it opened. Feeling a bit bouncy and naughty, thinking that one of my colleagues is going out for lunch, I decided to give them my lunch time entrée.

So I waited patiently, like a devoted housewife, waiting for her husband to return home. At the precise moment when my colleague was at the door, I jumped out of hiding, crossed my eyes and go "WAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!" At this point, I couldn't control my penned up laughter, but after uncrossing my eyes, I realised that the frightened girl in front of me is not my colleague. I was like "Fuck..OH SHIT". I really hope it wasn't one of our clients leaving after a meeting. I don't think clients appreciate goofy clowns handling their business. Another visitor from the other office who witnessed the snafu smiled politely and I thought I see her shaking her head.

I said my apologies profusely to the poor soul. Luckily she caught my drift and calmed down. I continued laughing to harbor my dignity (whatever left of it anyways) and being an opportunist woman that she is, whips out a piece of paper and start showing me the product that she's selling. I wanted to be nice and buy whatever she's selling, but haha, it's not of any use to me plus it's not exactly cheap.

I hope her next office destination is a bit sane and normal.

You got a brief one day to redesign a completely ugly and utterly useless website (in your eyes anyway). You fire up your trusty computer and dive into the project. Questions you have aplenty. How, who, what, and what if. You think with this project you'd leave an indelible mark, a piece of you, for users to see and appreciate.

The question is if your client were impressed by your work, does it mean that you're really good, you'd hit the brief with deadly accuracy. Or your work is just plain safe and boring even the client likes it?
