I just got a call from a telemarketer claiming to specialize in corporate acquisitions, who said (in what I’m guessing was a recording) that her company has a buyer who’s potentially interested in acquiring my company.
That’s new. Most telemarketers want me to buy imprinted pens or credit card terminals. This one gets bonus points for creativity.
They got the direction wrong, though. I’m much more interested in acquiring a similar company than I am in selling mine. Global economic disaster or not, I’m still enjoying the work, and it’s still paying the bills.
