Hi William,

Thanks for registering for grabaseat alerts. Just wanted to give you a heads up on the sweet deals we have coming up.

grabaseat needs to make $100 a day. Or apparently it's my butt.

As a result of the mighty powers of group brainstorming my middle management superiors have assigned me the rather un-ambitious task of making at least another $100 a day for grabaseat.

Usually these inane requests are accompanied by an equally inane set of legal and financial hoops that have to be negotiated to get a result. But this time they haven't given me anything at all. I asked my boss about it as he was heading out the door to go home and he just said, "do whatever it takes".

So that's exactly what I have decided to do, and starting today I have organised at least 100 one dollar seats to go up on the grabaseat website every day until the end of October. The one dollar seats will be appearing at random times each day so it might pay to check the website regularly.

Someone is probably going to get into trouble for this, but I'm just doing what I was asked to do and if someone higher up can't be bothered to brief me properly then I really don't see how any of this becomes my problem.

Right-oh, that's all.
