Secret Squirrels

I just spoke at another seminar this morning for an organiser who made about... S$200,000 in pure profit from giving that seminar. S$2,100 per attendee. Not a cent to any of the speakers. I asked for a list of the attendees so that I could pitch my talk correctly and they told me it was a secret.

"Can you at least tell me whether they are legally trained?"

".... yes. About 40% of them are legally trained."

"So what do the rest do? Are they ... financially trained? Contract management-trained? WHAT ABOUT TOILET-TRAINED? CAN YOU AT LEAST TELL ME THAT?"

"... I'm so sorry. That information is confidential."

I'm so glad I've learned to manage my expectations properly. So when I didn't even receive a honorarium (a little parting gift) after all the effort, I wasn't exactly surprised or disappointed.

Still plotting my revenge. I'll write a blog entry and bitch about it! Wait... I've already done that.
