| Saved From Certain Death! |
I was very blue about the fact that I, in lieu of my boss, would have to present to clients tomorrow. :'0(
Not that I have anything against presenting, you see. I quite like presents: chocolates, books, tea, cartoons... Ahem.
Anyway, I dawdled this morning, dreading coming into work and having to prepare a brief (ha!) dissertation on my department's responsibilities. Fortunately, I was faced by folders of work so I didn't have much time to dwell on my impending doom.
20 minutes later, I check my e-mail and VOILA! Saved saved SAVED!!
The client cancelled and the meeting will need to be rescheduled (hopefully on a day when my boss is in!). :-D
Oh, if you could only see the smile on my face!
YES! SCORE! |

Result! Lucky you didn't have a sudden attack of double-triple-extra-strength flu then. You know, that terrible strain that attacks at the most inopportune moments?
-
Ah, if you only knew, SC! And it would have been octuple-strength flu! :-p
Quite frankly, if I thought it would have done any good, I'd have called in tomorrow and said I had been bitten by a rabid tortoise and was busily trying to avoid baying at the sun. Or something. :-@
But, with my boss out, and our department in an excruciatingly busy spot, it wouldn't have been fair to my co-workers nor the accounts I work on. :-(
Are you sure you couldn't cover for me? You seem to have a rather winning way about you and would have impressed the clients no end. :-D
-
You flatterer. You do it so well. Thanks for the offer, but I think it'd be a reasonably long commute though, wouldn't it?
You were a trooper to hold the fort like that, and don't you dare be modest.
That's my job, remember? *cough*

I see you have split your site in twain, Tea. Lord above, you are organised, aren't you? Will you be my Office Manager when I'm famous?
:)
-
I think you're the flatterer, SC. :-)
So you wouldn't consider the trip in for a day? It would have only been a few hours' flight... :0)
As for being your office manager when you're famous... you're already famous, so does that mean I have the job? ;-)
-
Gah, experienced the tummy bug more times than I wish to recall, SI. :-(
No, no, if I were to call in sick without actually being sick (I'm shocked, SI! Are you inciting me to fib?), I'd have to make it truly spectacular -- heatstroke in the dead of winter; facial pimples north, south and central; I've turned into a killer raccoon overnight! :-O
