Technology Update. As mentioned in earlier Friday Faxes, APC has fast-tracked a technical research project to study potentially damaging interaction of commercial cable pulling lubricants with LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) and LSHF (low smoke halogen free) cables. While this study is ongoing and specific lube recommendations are difficult due to the diversity of jacket materials involved, APC has developed a webpage devoted to the LSZH compatibility issue: www.polywater.com/LSZH.asp. It includes a link to a PowerPoint presentation (an Insulated Conductors Committee Presentation in October 2006) covering a documented LSZH cable failure, which describes conditions, causes, test methodology, observations, and potential remedies. You should encourage anyone asking about LSZH compatibility to visit this page and/or to contact American Polywater's project leader, Sheri Dahlke at 1-651-430-2270 ext. 482 for more details. We hope to be able to offer more definitive lubricant recommendations at the conclusion of this research project. Stay tuned. |

Sales Advice. Unfortunately, time does not stop when you do. It keeps right on going, and with it goes missed opportunities. Obviously, we must take time to rest and enjoy family and friends, but within us all is the dreaded procrastination gene. It finds a way--through fear, laziness or disorganization--to sap otherwise useful time and convert it into wasted energy. A hallmark of every successful salesperson--regardless of industry, experience or training level--is the ability to control procrastination for months or years at a time. They set priorities (selling Polywater® products) and act. A wise person once said, "Don't be a 'should' person. They say, 'I should do this' and 'I should do that,' but they never seem to get around to it. These people 'should' all over themselves." |
![]() The Joke |
Golf Genie. A man and wife were golfing when she hacked a shot through the window of a nearby house. The man cringed, "We'll have to go apologize and pay up." They knocked on the door and a warm voice invited them in. They entered and saw glass everywhere, and a broken antique bottle lying on the floor. A man on the couch asked, "Did you break my window?" "We're very sorry," the husband said. "No apology is necessary--I want to thank you! I'm a genie. I've been trapped in that bottle for a thousand years. I can grant three wishes. I'll give you each one, but I'll keep the last for myself." "Wow!" the husband said, "I'd like ten million dollars." "No problem," said the genie, "You've got it--and I guarantee you a long, healthy life!" Then the genie asked the wife what she wanted. "I want a fine home in every country of the world," she said. "Done," the genie said, "And your homes will always be safe!" The man then asked, "What's your wish, genie?" He said, "Since I haven't been with a woman for a thousand years, I wish to be alone with your wife." The husband looked at his wife, "What do you think?" She said, "Considering our good fortune, I guess it's okay. Do you mind?" He said, "I'd do the same for you!" So the genie and the woman went upstairs and spent the rest of the day enjoying each other. The genie was insatiable. After hours of non-stop passion, the genie asked the woman, "How old are you and your husband?" "We're both 35," she said breathlessly. "No kidding," he said, "35 years old ... and you both still believe in genies?" |
