It does make a difference!<\/span><\/div>\n

The 15-minutes drive to work as the mind whirls<\/span> trying to get into the work left off last evening, the fading music from the radio keeping them humming and smiling. The radio station, Houston’s 106.9 is a favorite – classic rock.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And to give them the dose of reality is this ad for Burger King. (I tried hard to find it on the net but couldn’t<\/span> find it)<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
The words might be sort of wrong but this is the gist.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
X:<\/strong> Welcome to your new job Y.<\/span><\/div>\n
Y:<\/strong> Thanks! It feels great to be on the team and I quit. (Pause). And I would like to be paid for the time I was here.<\/span><\/div>\n
X:<\/strong> The whole 5 seconds. You earned probably 2 bucks.<\/span><\/div>\n
Y:<\/strong> Oh yeah! I made enough<\/span> to eat a yummy meal at BK’s<\/span> dollar menu like the Whopper Jr. blah blah blah!<\/span><\/div>\n
X:<\/strong> Yummy!<\/span><\/div>\n
Y:<\/strong> Right Boss! no former boss.<\/span><\/div>\n
X:<\/strong> Former is right coz<\/span> I quit.<\/span><\/div>\n
Y:<\/strong> Finally you are acting like a professional.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Please someone point out the connection between being professional and quiting your job to eat at BK! <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Listening to such an ad the first thing in the morning makes a difference. It makes me want to drive my car into every BK and flatten it. Who on earth comes up with such “creative” ideas? Please can I kill them? <\/span>Another such ad was the Compass bank ads. Believe me it makes a difference to your morning commute!<\/span><\/div>\n
