Our customer’s customer is here today.

Apparently, this is the last chance this particular customer has of selling this product they’ve been working on now for the past few years. If this customer of theirs doesn’t bite, then the project is probably going to be killed. Not that I care, but if our customer doesn’t get a customer, then they’ll have no real reason to stay around and won’t be our customer anymore.

What’s boggling my mind is that our customer doesn’t have more people here to support this dog and pony show of their product. You’d think there’d be marketing people, managers, whoever here to get this thing sold. Nope. it’s the poor engineer who’s always here running it - and he’s not exactly the best people person in the world. On top of which, the customer’s customers who are here are Japanese, with minimal Engrish skills.

I just laugh whenever I see them walking and talking.
