For all creatures like me in account management, March is a month to atone for all the sins you have committed throughout the rest of the year.
Spring might be heralded by the coming of the month but for the sales guy it is one long month filled with endless account reconciliations and billing issues to be resolved.
Plus there's that big push that he's supposed to put in in March, when IT budgets are at their most generous.
Not to say that it isn't fun.It surely is.If your idea of fun is twelve hour workdays and major stress.
Thankfully there are the endless cups of chai to nudge you along.And when that fails, there's always that cup of 'strong as death' expresso to flog you towards the end of the day :)
Here's something I read earlier that I really liked-
You'll be greeted
by a nice cup of coffee
when you get to heaven
and strains of angelic harmony.
But wouldn't you be devastated
if they only serve decaffeinated
while from the percolators of hell
your soul was assaulted
by Satan's fresh expresso smell?
-John Agard
