SWADG: Stuff We All Don't Get

When I arrived home tonight, Wife had a bunch of “goodies” to show me. Wife, as our four regular readers know, works at a major advertising company. One of the company’s clients is a shoe/athletic wear company that Wife said I am not permitted to identify (it is an expensive, trendy brand of athletic shoe– I’m sorry but I just won’t tell the name of the client…I just won’t do it…Wife will probably be deleting that line when she sees it).

Wife oversees the finances for this large client’s account. Anyway, the point of this story: when wife came to work today, she was greeted with a gift bag: a pair of athletic shoes (that are not released yet) and also a pair of “fancy” athletic shoes (I don’t know how to describe these shoes – Wife loves them; they look like a combination of tennis shoes and ballerina shoes to me). They also sent over plenty of socks to go with the shoes. This whole package came in a nice athletic bag for storage. Because Wife loves me she made sure to make sure they know what size shoe her husband wears.

The only SWAG I get are pens, mugs, and an occasional stress ball. I’m in the wrong business.

The good news for me is that Wife’s firm just won a major candy manufacturer. Let’s hope they love her too.
