I decided to call the BMK office at the end of the day. Steve picked up the phone so I asked him a few questions. I told him that I was on the Agoracom site and was wondering what all of the excitement was about this afternoon. I asked him if they had a news release coming out in the near future. He replied by saying that they would have a news release in 14 days. Puzzled about giving me a precise date for the release I decided to repeat the question. He once again responded by saying they would have a news release in two weeks.  He mentioned that the labs are backed up and that they may have partial essays before then but he is unsure at the moment.

I asked how the mood is like at the office and he replied with the following response: “We come to work every day happy and we leave work every day happy.”

I then switched the conversation to NOT and proceeded to tell him how pleased I was with their performance in the past year. I told him that NOT was responsible for directing my attention to the area and other juniors such as BMK. He said, “Well…we hope to trump Noront for the top spot.” This statement made hair on the back of my neck stand up because it’s the second time I have heard this today. At this point I was lost for words and ended the conversation by thanking Bill for his time.

Key points:

1.       News release in 14 days.  (Friday, January 24, 2008) Partial essays?

2.       Come to work every day happy and we leave work every day happy.

3.       Hope to trump NOT for the top spot in the area.
