  That stuff annoys the heck out of me.  I'm doing RFPs and vendor
selection and all that right now, and every salesdroid I talk to wants
to do the touchy-feeling in-person meeting thing.  I have no interest
in it.  It does not advance me towards the goals.

  I realize that glad-handing works on a lot of people, so that's why
they do it.  Still annoying.
