Shark Tank

Hey, she got it the second time!

VP of Media asks pilot fish to change a link on one of this organization's Web sites.

"She wanted it so that when clicked, the link would open up the person's e-mail client and send a message to one of our managers instead of her," fish says.

"When I told her that I had completed that task, she informed me that it was not right. She said when she clicked on the link, it opened up her e-mail client and the body of the e-mail contained her signature and not the manager's signature.

"I chuckled for a moment and told her, 'I cannot change your signature to the manager's signature when you click on the link. That's because you clicked on the link. If someone else clicks on the link it will open their e-mail client and contain whatever they have in their body of their e-mail.'

"I did not hear back from her."
