Overkill: Even we’ll admit it

March 7, 2012 by CoastTec

At a sales meeting a few weeks ago, things got a little off topic when our CEO, Rick, said “My mom actually has a UPS attached to her alarm clock because she hates having to reset it every time the power goes out.”  Then, one by one, more examples of absurd ways that people on or related to our team are ACTUALLY using units came out.  And, we knew we had our next blog post:

When an updated alarm clock with Double A batteries is out of reach, just hook up a BE550G and you’ll always be up on time (courtesy of Rick’s mom):

 

*Long drive + two daughters + wife – iPhone/iPod/iPad = unbearable. A SU700 should do the trick (courtesy of Rick):

 

Fishes need power, too (courtesy of COO, Adam):

 

We take our coffee VERY seriously (courtesy of CBM break room):

Have one to add? We’d love to see it! Email us you’re pic, or post it to our Facebook page, and we’ll send you a CBM t-shirt (while supplies last).

*How the heck does this work? The UPS is charged and ready to go, then it’s plugged into a surge protector that’s plugged into a converter that’s then plugged into the car. And, yup, they’ve blown it out a few times.
