Business Blossoms (BB)
The following quotes are simply taken from life as system integrator, consulting company with emphasis on the fun part of business. They do not intend to hurt or be unserious. Just read and enjoy quotes from meetings that - reading out of context - can ound terribly funny. And all are unbelievable but so true.
1. After several month of decision for an ITIL Service management training in CEER we finally get the word we won! Procurement calls up (the probably sweetest voice of the planet, probably 29 years of age, single and overly gorgous), says:
I have made arrangements for you; you can stay all three nights at My Place.
Aha!
...Turns out that My Place is the name of a hotel belonging to the BestWestern Hotel Chain.
Employee exposure to the limit....Dear Hotel owner. Don't do this to your receptionists. They must face this every day.
2. Awaiting for an urgent decision after an urgent request to send a very urgent email that will enable a department for deploying a major change that shall solve an incident priority 1:
I have seen your email but I did not read it.
3. Board meeting - Progress report after 6 month if ITSM implementation
Person A: This sounds urgent (!!!) Don't you think we should do something?
Person B: Yes...we definitely should do something.
4. Progress meeting during a large implementation project
I have some issues with the men that I would like to solve.
5. Dear Customer, we want to inform you that the amount of 19% if x EURO for Software maintance is overdue.

For finding out who offers the cheapest 19%?
Yes...
