Top 3 things you DON'T have in the field









1. laptop
2. laptop
3. laptop

4-100. laptop

Look, this is a wonderful company and it's making me rich but Ron would flip out and have to be institutionalized if he know how much field time I miss because I can't get things done on the IPAD. Things like:

compliance wire
my expense report, especially building these new attendee lists just can't be done from an IPAD
any video Celgene posts from the home office
printing with any hope of success
any data analysis because we don't have excel
saving a critical document, like a sign in sheet
signing up for benefits during open enrollment
accessing ADP for anything
on, and on, and on

Could we just take what we spend on 1 speaker program and buy me a $200 laptop at Best Buy. You can do what you want with the other $2800 we saved.

I estimate I lose 8 hours a month because I can't get things done on an IPAD and have to find a a laptop somewhere in my territory usually in a hotel lobby or library to get work done. So 96 hours a year. I could make a lot more calls in that time.

Everything else is great.

Oh, if you could get our managed care RAMs to actually do anything for I&I that would be a bonus.

Until then, if you see me at a Verizon store on their desktop, I might not be looking up my account info. I might be finishing my expense report.

This is so hilariously true I am dying. Can someone please put this in to an anonymous email to Ron??
