drowning not waving
Work. Aargh. I am reduced to emailing my former boss and offering him money for the loan of a couple of workers. He is driving a very hard bargain and so far we are up to £145 plus a promise to return the favour for free at any time. We can't actually do this, but it has distracted me from seeing my name in the national papers as the incompetent who was unable to save the chil-der-en. Weirdly I am past the point of cracking and greet each day's bad news with a smile, safe in the knowledge that it will be worse tomorrow.
I have also been struggling with the idea that I am not as secure about how I look and present myself to the world as I thought. While I generally don't have any difficulty in loving my inner headmistress (she is old and strict, wears a tweed suit and is not very popular) she is at war with my inner fluffy bunny (who wants to be pretty for boys and described as 'nice'). The Headmistress is winning.
Penblwydd Hapus to the Niece. 14! How can it be?

The "former boss" has been driving me mad with his boasts of falling numbers and reaching new milestones. You may not receive an answer from your next email to him as I may have killed him with offers of muffins filled with venom. Our hard work is reaping benefits for the former boss and he no longer needs cushions as he sits on a bubble which hopefully won't burst.

She delurks! Please dispose of our former boss so that I can have his job, I'd like to have team that are actually there and I want to reap the rewards of all our hard work. Please!

Tweed, eh? Does it itch in the summer?
As for bosses, I'm considering a new career a la' Tony Soprano and for small fee, I'd cross the pond....

There's £145 going begging...

Unfortunately the dollar just hit a twelve year low against the pound. Can you make it 150?

That's no problem. How about doing two for £275 and a fine collection of china thimbles celebrating the historic sights of London? I've got someone in mind. You know, this is how these things start. A joke on the internet and the next thing, before we know it, we're someone's prison bitch. I've seen Strangers on a Train and The Shawshank Redemption. Before we go on with this, I need to know, just how mad are you?
