But we won first, second, third, fourth project.
So I'd walk past the accounts department each week and see this pile of timesheets building up.
And I'd say, guys, when are we invoicing this?
And they said, we don't have a company name yet.
So I said, well, we can invoice it under the recruitment business.
And they said, no, no, no, no, no, we're a different brand.
So we are nothing right now because you can't even invoice.
So anyway, after about eight weeks of this, I got frustrated and I said, no guys, stop.

So they wanted a five letter dot com.

And they came up with T-Q-U-I-L-A dot com.
And I said, no, you know, our customers will say great idea at the time.

It was conceived at the dinner table.
