I just got to ring my previous boss up (same company, different department):
Me: Russ, where are you this morning?
Russel: Birmingham.
Me: Oh, for a sales demo?
Russel: Yeah.
Me: A-ha. Who’s the contact?
Russel: A guy called Lee Somethingorother
Me: M-hm
Russel: Yup
Me: So that’ll be the chap sat in our waiting room in Wakefield then?
Russel: *expletives deleted*
Reminds me of another of my previous bosses who was up at 4am to get the redeye to London. Got off the train at Kings Cross at 9:05 and his mobile rang. It was our receptionist passing on a message that the customer he was there to see had rung 2 minutes earlier and said they couldn’t manage the meeting after all.
