My thoughts and reflections:
So it is that bloody biodynamic wine. Definitely.
I decided to try some more last night, as quality control, before mentioning to Aziz and Astrid they’d bought a whole case of shit wine, because I’m a considerate person.
Total menace. I now have a vicious headache and am wearing yesterday’s outfit which has stains on the trousers because I completely forgot about laundering clothes.
Plus I left Astrid’s umbrella on the tube so got soaked walking into work and had to go into Cara’s meeting late, and as no one budged up, I had to walk all the way round the table, looking bedraggled, to get to the seat next to hers.
Cara did that whole going silent to wait for Alice thing, glancing ostentatiously at her hideous Bulgari watch.
I’d have preferred it if she’d just said you’re bloody late .
Then I had to listen without rolling my eyes whilst Yaz said how she had some great ideas she couldn’t wait to share in Acquisitions tomorrow.
Then to top it off, twenty minutes after I’d arrived late, Charlotte came in wearing pants and making every head swivel.
I can’t believe Guy Carmichael dumped her.
Of course, people fell over themselves budging up so that Charlotte could sit down.
And when Charlotte said she was sorry for being late, entirely unapologetically, Cara just brushed it aside and said, ‘Who’s watching clocks? ’
Er, you, Cara.
To make the day extra fun, Yaz keeps wincing and clutching her stomach and spraying little puffs of Tom Ford’s bitter peach. It doesn’t disguise what she’s doing. She’s just ruined a perfectly good fragrance for me. She even said, ‘I must have got it from you, so chances are you won’t catch it.’
I reckon it’s from those horrible fermented shot things she drinks. I wish I hadn’t sucked her pen yesterday. Anyway, I’m hiding out in the little meeting booth again and will keep hoping no one comes and kicks me out for an actual meeting.
Oh, and Guy Carmichael isn’t in the office today, so there’s not even anything to aspire to. It all feels a little flat, and like a backwards step after yesterday.
I might find out about the GlowCycle gym Charlotte goes to and different payment options.
I am grateful for:
