Bring Your Kid To School Day!

6:26 PM, Nov 20 2009

Meet our new President!

November 4th, 2009 was "Bring Your Kid to School Day" so M.B., our Business Development representative, brought her son Aaron to Hansen Industries Ltd. Our President and Aaron decided to trade places for a day; Ed was upset to be away from the office. Aaron sold some scrap metal for cash, implemented extended recess and Gym Class and organized a company Play called "Test our Mettle". Ed spent most of the day getting his rare earth magnet unstuck from body piercings, choosing a tattoo, planting a tree and finally selling the Carbon Offsets to Hansen Industries for cash, no GST. Aaron can't go back to school until he can explain how his substitute made a smoke bomb out of three inert powders found in the chemistry lab.
