Secret Squirrel Mission

Agent K,

Part 1 of your mission is to check Carol’s calendar and see if she is at work on Wednesday.

If you do not have access to her calendar, you could ask Paul Syme or Catriona Leung to check it out for you.  However, they most be sworn to secrecy and warned of dire consequences should they betray our trust.

This email will self-destruct in 10 seconds.

Hello. Sorry for the delay – one of those mornings.

According to her calendar she is in until 14:45 this Wednesday

Excellent.  My nefarious plan is coming to fruition.

So part 2 of the mission is that I am going to make Carol a cake with “Loser” written on it.  This is the level of humour she and I share.

My plan is that I will then come by your office at 07:30 hours on Wednesday morning and do a cake hand-off to you.  I am assuming that you are still an early starter, but if not I can stop by later.  Can you pass me your mobile number so that I can let you know when I am outside?

The rest of the plan is very much up to you.  I’d encourage you to lure her to your desk with the most painful and boring task you can think of.  Reviewing a Service Now change springs to mind.  Then you can give her the cake.  Feel free to call her a loser.  You might want to duck at this point.

She has been emailing me this morning and I’ve been doing everything I can to give no indication whatsoever that I have remembered.  Because it is no fun whatsoever making someone feel special and awesome unless they feel truly rubbish and neglected first.

(Evil laughter)

Hi – won’t be here until 8 on Wednesday.

I will hide the cake and take it up to her desk – maximum embarrassment for her!!!!!

Keith.  That is EVIL.

I like the way you think.

Okay 8(ish) it is.  Just let me know if you’re going to be later, I’m quite happy to stay in my bed for a bit longer on Wednesday morning.

Cheers me duck!

Symon
