Natalie, one of our team, sent us the link to the following YouTube video the other day. It’s quite, quite wonderful – and I just had to share it hear.

Not proposal-specific, but I think we’ll all relate to it:

This is so much the WorldCom/MCI/Verizon that I knew it is hilarious!

At one stage in a WorldCom project in 1999 there were almost 200 folks on a totally useless conference call.

In Australia, the North Amricans were all calling an IDD number from their desk telephone!

When I suggested we could all do a “single conference call” from a “conference room” to save money they were astounded because they would lose their anonymity!

As for the dog barking – yep, several of them had that, but I got in first and told my boss (and later great friend) to shut up!
