I came across this old ad for a Cisco Systems user conference amongst Qiao's things and thought it amusing. (Cisco makes networking equipment.)

Text of ad:
I attend 3 keynotes.
I sit through 12 breakout sessions.
I visit 75 Cisco partners.
I transform business.
(And I still can't figure out the digital alarm.)

Recently when I didn't hear my watch a few days in a row, I checked it more closely. I saw an extra thing in the display and had to dig out my watch instructions to figure out that I'd somehow accidentally set it to only go off in the month of December.
