The Delicate Foot of a Parrot

I've made it a policy rarely to share work-related stuff on this blog. But I think it helps set up some context for my day-to-day existence to provide little snippets from the Bulldog world.

Here is a classic example: An e-mail reply to my request for access to a new review site we've set up. My request was pretty basic. Nine times out of 10, the response would have been equally basic (yes, no, yes with conditions).

Every once in a while, though, a gem like this has me laughing for the rest of the day and deeply concerned I will never again work with people quite as funny.

My e-mail: "Love (it.) As a "client," I will get to experience this, right?"

Reply from project owner: I thought for you in particular we’d actually print out each page, attach it to the delicate foot of a local wild parrot and have it fly over you and drop it with a few words of affirmation.
