I attended a high level meeting at work earlier today. They’re not something I often get invited to but when you’re invited, you have to go.

The future of the organisation was discussed. Words like ‘imperative’, ‘success’ and ‘disaster’ were all used, frequently.

I could tell it was important meeting because no notes were being taken. All eyes were on me.

‘Give me 4 weeks’ I said.

Then my phone went. It was a text message.

‘That’ll be New York’ I said.

Except it wasn’t. It was a colleague. She had left her very expensive shoes in the office and was worried that they might go missing.

‘Don’t worry you can depend on me’ I found myself saying.

You’ll be pleased to hear I rescued the shoes and they were returned safely to her this morning.
