In praise of trade shows

It’s nice to hear someone praising trade shows, especially since I haven’t heard much of it these days outside of our industry associations’ spokespeople. Check out this editorial from PC magazine, subtitled, CES and its ilk are critical to the way humans do business.

And you thought your job was strange

Check out these 10 strangest jobs in the travel industry. My favorite is “Monkey Men, Amanbagh Resort, Rajasthan, India — keep native monkeys from stealing guests’ cookies.” Though I wouldn’t mind having this as a second career: “Coconut Safety Engineer, Ritz-Carlton, St. Thomas — picks ripened coconuts before they fall.”

Best airline complaint letter

Oh this is just the best, the absolute best airline complaint letter ever. I am still laughing…

Thanks to MeCo for the pointer.
