The reps even offer them and seem taken aback when I tell them I don't give a rat's a** about an ipad. Apparently telling them that if I wanted one I would already have one doesn't seem rational to them. They should be handing out Keurig machines. Then again, I already have one.Doc Moohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02689665606364935384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-20523949289523571922013-11-08T09:35:20.032-05:002013-11-08T09:35:20.032-05:00We currently have a "deal" with one of o...We currently have a "deal" with one of our lab disposables supply companies. Spend $500 with them and get a free night out at the movies. And by "free night out at the movies," they mean one movie ticket for every $500 spent.

I don't even have the cabinet space to store everything.<br /><br />I can only imagine how much crap I'd have to buy to get an iPad...Jen Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02627948857260467381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-62357268438896860262013-11-08T00:32:16.010-05:002013-11-08T00:32:16.010-05:00Wait!
