Free Lunch......Not!
One week ago, I received an email from one colleague saying that after he had dropped his business card at a restaurant, he got selected for a free lunch with ten people. He invited folks to go with him. Wow, free lunch, a phrase that is used to be so familiar and now is so far away. I was not gonna bypass such an opportunity. Yesterday morning, when that colleague confirmed with my attendence, he told me that actually there would be a short financial presentation from the sponsor. The sponsor promised it to be a two-minute talk. Ok, how could a two-minute talk suppress little bird's enthusiasium for free food? However, the reality is that several backed off once they heard about the presentation. Finally, four went to the Indian restaurant. In exchange for the buffet lunch, little bird gave up his phone number and address.
