The start of the trade show is 2 hours away. The set up is going great. Everything so far is looking spectacular. Everything except... Except the fact that the pedestals never arrived from your exhibit supplier. OK, don't panic. Take a deep breath. You can just set the product up on the floor. Um, no. I know! Steve can hold them, he is sometimes called the human pedestal around the office anyway... Wait! Boxes! Cardboard boxes will hold them! No... the product weighs 40 pounds - an accident waiting to happen. Alright Steve, get your hazmat suit on we're down to dumpster diving - just find something we can use as a pedestal!
