Last night I was sitting in Borders in Palo Alto, deluding myself into thinking that both the WiFi would work, and that they would A/C that also would work. Alas, neither would be the case. I found a little bench to sit on in the “Start-Up” business book section. I concluded that this Borders must have more books on starting companies than any Borders in America. In the course of sitting quieting I had two fun conversations, one with a bright young guy thinking starting a marketing firm, i.e. SherpaMarketing and the other with a lovely woman from Zazzle. We talked about start-ups, our experience, etc. I apologetically indicated that I was out of cards.
She said, no big deal, reached into her purse and pulled out her “old” card, but said that all the info was correct, but her title. I looked at the card, and noted that her title on the card was “CBC”, and while I knew it wasn’t for this“CBC”… She quickly let me know it stood for “Chief Bean Counter”…, and as they say, there you have it!
