Com'on guys, let's be grateful. Lexis doesn't have to give us anything,
a gift is a gift and we should be appreciative! Have we forgotten our
manners?

Hey, I can use roach clips. I hate it when I finally get all my
cockroaches gathered up, only to have them scatter because I don't have
a clip to hold them together.
So what was this cesktop roach & floating pill gift. I never
saw one.

Do you remember the flurry of emails in December* after
several list members received from the Lexis/Nexis Librarian Relations
Group what became known as the "desktop roach clip & floating pill"
gift? . . . Well, just wait until the "Library Week" gifts hit folks'
desks!
Imagine our surprise today upon receiving from Lexis a
small yellow watering can ... along with a bag-o-dirt and unidentified
seeds suspiciously labeled "GROW YOUR OWN"! Apparently, it will take
14 to 21 days before we know precisely what we are harvesting!
Cheers,
Martha
* My favorite post in December on this topic was by
Mary Rumsey: "If a human being gives me a gift, I say thank you, but if
a multinational corporation sends me (and thousands of others) a
logo-encrusted, mass-produced, deductible-as-a-business-expense gift
that looks like a roach clip, I make fun of it."
