It does make a difference!
It does add a little disaster to the morning
mad scramble to work. After the routine get-out-of-home antics
which include forgotten and lost keys, trash cans moved out on
wrong days, missed breakfasts and gulping a cup of cooling tea,
I really do not need this and it does make a difference to my
day.
During the 15-minutes drive to work my mind
whirls trying to get into the work left off last evening, the
fading music from the radio keeping me humming and smiling. The
radio station, Houston's 106.9 is a favorite - classic rock. And
to give me the dose of reality is this ad for Burger King. (I
tried hard to find it on the net but couldn't find it)
The words might be sort of wrong but this is
the gist.
X: Welcome to your new job Y.
Y: Thanks! It feels great to be on the team and I quit.
(Pause).
X: What?
Y: And I would like to be paid for the time I was here.
X: The whole 5 seconds. You earned probably 2 bucks.
Y: Oh yeah! I made enough to eat a yummy meal at BK's
dollar menu like the Whopper Jr. Blah blah blah!
X: Yummy!
Y: Right Boss! No former boss.
X: Former is right 'coz I quit.
Y: Finally you are acting like a professional.
Please someone point out the connection
between being professional and quitting your job to eat at
Burger King!
Listening to such an ad the first thing in
the morning makes a difference. It makes me want to drive my car
into every Burger King and flatten it. Who on earth comes up
with such "creative" ideas? Please can I kill them?
Another such ad was the Compass bank ad which
proclaims a Compass Bank free checking account is a much better
invention than a car that runs on seawater, gives 65mpg and
emits only oxygen. Even a school kid can write better ads!
Believe me it makes a difference to your
morning commute! Might be I should just start a movement for
better radio ads for commuters like me.
I would love to hear from my readers. Please
