Early one and brief, as I am working from home today which is proving to be something of a limiting factor. I am having all sorts of technical problems which are partly related to my horrid MacBook Pro, but also to the fact that Humphrey, miniature smooth haired dachshund, insists on jumping up onto my lap trying to comfort me as I struggle with emails and curse my computer.
It was our client party in London last night. Fun, though sadly my journey home late last night was rather more mundane than the last time I returned from a similar event. Would you believe it when I tell you I was the runaway winner of an internal competition and awarded with an email circulated to the whole firm with my name in bold and a picture of a trophy as the sales person with the most accepted invitations. Not for nothing am I known as Dave the Rave. I was very proud of this achievement, as you would expect, and immediately forwarded the email to my wife as evidence of the valued job I have been doing. Rather hurtfully she seemed to find this amusing. And then a succession of colleagues walked past my desk hissing spitefully at me. I suppose we all find fame and success hard to deal with. I should add it is possible that I had more than my fair share of no-shows on the evening, which is most unfortunate, and I will have some explaining to do to the party apparatus no doubt.
What do I put my success down to you may ask? Well as I have alluded to above I am a bit of a party animal, but even I was surprised so many of you decided to come along. All became clear earlier this week when I discovered I had been “fraped”. It is a concept your teenage children would understand. One of my teenage children was back down from Leeds College of Art the other day for the weekend and it transpires she managed to hack onto my Facebook account via my iPad (pretty cool me eh?!) and updated my status (technical term) to read the following:
David Sandison Is single and ready to mingle. Feel free to call anytime, someone call the woop doctor WOOP WOOP David Sandison is on the loose rude boi xxxxxxxx
That girl is a nightmare.
Off to Scotland for the weekend with Bob champing at the bit and stags on his mind. See ya.
