Alright, I know I probably should be vendor neutral and for the most part I think I do a pretty good job keeping my posts that way.  But I also believe in giving credit where credit is due, and so I have to give a big thank you to Brian Vanderhorst over at CA Technologies.  Brian read my last post on pleading with vendors to give high quality pens (http://www.itilandme.com/?p=270), and he went the extra mile and made sure I got a really nice box of high quality pens.

On a side note – no Brian, the implementation isn’t as bad as I make it out to be; I admit I was being overly dramatic for journalism’s (or faux journalism’s) sake.  And yes, I’ll go easy on my kvetching from now on.  For the record, CA Technologies is not “the vendor that shall not be named.”

One last thought…I’m now pissed I didn’t title my last post “Vendors:  Want my business?  Give away iPAD 2’s (or Playbooks).”

Started working in IT in 1999 as a support desk analyst as a way to help pay for food during college. Studied Electrical Engineering for two years before realizing biochemistry was more fun than differential equations, and so ultimately graduated with a Biology degree in 2006. Having (reluctantly) failed at getting accepted into dental school, embraced working in IT and has gone broke becoming an ITIL Expert. Likes to jog, sing camp songs, quote Mel Brooks movie lines and make dumb jokes and loves working for an Israeli tech company where December 25th is a regular work day.
