I was confronted at 7am this morning by three hungry children demanding breakfast and a preying mantis staring at me from the kitchen table. It was actually quite unnerving as it turned its buggy little head to watch my every move as I first prepared breakfast and then attempted to remove it from the table. I got as far as relocating it to the back of the chair instead. I really am not good with large bugs at such an early hour of the day.
And so we all spent breakfast watching the bug and the bug watching us…..quite a strange sight! The children described him as ‘cute’ and by the time breakfast had finished he had acquired the name of Charlie. I decided it might be best to find out if it would actually bite me, as I knew nothing about it. So I logged onto the internet for a bit of ‘bug research’. As it turns out, it is a sexual cannibal, eeek, but perfectly harmless to humans. It could bite, but apparently it wouldn’t be life threatening. The inevitable, which I realised I had actually been putting off as long as possible, was to pick it up and throw it out the door.
Three little faces watched in fascination as I put on my brave face and more for my benefit than anyone else’s I chanted the old line of ‘it’s just a bug, it’s harmless, it’s more scared of us than we are of it’ although I didn’t feel so sure of that. It didn’t seem at all scared of us. In fact as my hand went towards it its front legs went up in a sort of karate stance, as though preparing for battle. However, with such an expectant audience I bravely picked it up and plopped it down again outside on the patio where it continued to stare at me with its little buggy eyes.
Before actually meeting a Preying Mantis, I thought they were hideous, ugly bugs, possibly dangerous and not at all what I encountered on the kitchen table that morning. Misconceptions can be a dangerous thing. It’s quite scary to realise we can so easily form an opinion on something without actually giving it a fair chance to prove itself for what it really is.
It got me thinking. I wonder what opinion people who have never encountered eBoss recruitment software have of us? An interesting thought for a bug free week……………

Following an intense eBoss development meeting yesterday, a relaxing evening meal was in order. And it was during this meal that a little known fact regarding a well known ‘alcohol free’ beer was discovered. That fact being that the ‘alcohol free’ beer did in fact contain alcohol, albeit just a small amount. It got us talking however about mis-leading marketing and, more importantly, customers being down-right lied to.
Its pretty annoying realising you have purchased something that is actually different to what you saw advertised. We at eBoss, are open, clear and concise about our database system – there are no horrible hidden surprises, no hidden costs and it can be adapted to suit your companies particular recruitment niche just by simply switching on any additional free features you want to use.
Our aim is to have loyal and happy clients, not angry ones! Needless to say, we won’t be buying that beer again!
