The horror, the horror…

May 19th, 2006

I said a couple times before that I didn’t want to narrate the great sagging vacancy of my office existence on this website. But like John Prescott’s meaty shagathon, such grotesque lurid things always come to light. None of that background padding. No story-telling scaffolding. Simply, I came across a letter that had sent out to a client from one of the administrators in my firm. It consisted of seven tranches of indented text, not long enough to be termed paragraphs as they only contained one or perhaps two short sentences each. Each of these fragments began with the phrase I should be grateful… save for the third which surprised with the variant I should be most grateful… and the sign-off paragraph that left nobody in doubt with I should therefore be grateful…

This is probably the only time that I will invite comments. FYI absolutely no fence-sitting. Your reaction to this will determine your station, should you be granted one, in next month’s Global Restructure.

I have chosen to place this hotly anticipated blog entry under the category of teaching. Think well upon that.
