If you're a new equipment vendor at a major conference (say, the March Meeting), don't hand out ballpoint pens so cheap that they run out of ink after less than a week of minimal use. That quality control doesn't exactly inspire confidence. (I know the pens are made by some cheap third-party vendor, but come on....)
(hands Doug a pen) Here ya go. And by the way, could you sign this contract please? Oh, don't worry, it's just uh,... red ink, yea that's it. go ahead, sign.
ReplyDeleteI know this feeling- I have a draw full of these pens that dont write but one doesnt know what to do with. There was a pen that came with an ACS subscription that was really good and wrote very well for so long that I was sad to see it dry up. Now you know what to do if you need a ball point pen that actually writes.
