Yeah, right

Got a couple of these emails lately:

Hey Frank,

The PR firm I run has opportunities for you to get featured with Bloomberg TV and USA Today.

Would you be open to discussing?

Even if I believed they were legit, what good would they do me? I'm still a one-man shop who can barely keep up with demand as is. I don't need more publicity.

This reminds me of our being in a Subway yesterday (on the way to the Jane for softball!) and it was around 11am. The phone rang and the manager answered, there was a pause, then we heard her say "It's lunchtime I don't have time for this." and she hung up. She told her co-worker the person said (in a chirpy, salesperson voice "And who do I have the pleasure of speaking with?"

Asshole, fi you don't know, it's a cold call and it's lunchtime. At a restaurant. WTF.

End of Q1, they probably have to report how many "contacts" they made + how many email opens.
