Last Monday some of our insurance underwriters came in to meet with us and tour two of our facilities*.
Later that night at dinner the insurance underwriters presented my boss with this really nice crystal vase to commemorate the 30 year relationship that my company has had with them**.
When my boss showed me this vase on Tuesday morning my first reaction was, “What the hell are we going to do with that?” When he told me that he was going to just set it there in his office, I immediately said, “That vase would be really good to put a beta in.”
At first my boss kind of scoffed, but literally not five minutes later when my grandboss laughingly agreed that the vase would in fact be perfect for a beta, we were out the door headed to Petsmart.
We decided to name him Chubbs after the insurance company that gave us the vase (Chubb Group of Insurance Companies).
*I work in Risk Management. It’s my job to meet with the people that provide us insurance and whatnot.
**I was in class and missed out on the free dinner.
