One client I worked for had a "heads down Thursday", where no one was allowed to schedule anyone in the app dev department for meetings; general consensus was that Thursday's were by far the most productive day of the week
A client I worked for had his CISO pass away unexpectedly at a relatively young age due to a heart attack. My client then recounted how he received a LinkedIn update a few days following his death, and the first thing my client thought was "talk about remote access!"...he has an interesting sense of humor.
