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.
