Carry on Tittering

Last Tuesday, I sent an email to everyone where I work. It generated a lot of replies and phone calls. The masses were amused. One person completely forgot what work based matter they had rung the office for; they repeated parts of the email back to me. In light of the fact that I rarely generate mass tittering, I thought that I’d share the email with anyone that reads this pathetic excuse for an online diary... It’s probably not funny outside a work context, so imagine that you received it from someone in your office. Better still, imagine that it’s funny. Go on, just for me.

“Hello all

This is going to sound like a bit of a moan, but I'm British so it's okay. I positively encourage you all to do the same occasionally. Live up to a stereotype or two when it suits. Today it suits me to moan, but hopefully in a bright and cheery manner.

For a short period of recent history my home mobile number went out on the staff contact list. This was a little accident, probably due to inadequate handover notes being written by the last Administrator. I forget her name, but she was awful. Yes, she looked like me and rode the same bike, but I hope the similarities end there. She was the carbon dioxide to the new Administrator’s oxygen.

Anyway, please forget that you ever saw that 11 digit number.

Unless you need to contact me about groovy parties, to extend the arm of friendship or to let me know that a meeting that I'm travelling to has been cancelled, please don't call it. It's a bit disappointing to run naked from the showers at the gym, throw the contents of one's bag across the room, and then discover that it's a call about work and not even an emergency one at that. Naked person, that's left a long trail of water across the room, feels a bit silly then.

I know that's far too much information, but hopefully it will mean that you remember: Emily's mobile is not for work!

Happy July to you all,

Emily”

Fabpants Recommends: I am eagerly waiting Takka Takka’s second album ‘Migration’. It might be good. In the meantime, they have MP3s available to download via the interweb, and you don’t have to pay a penny.
