todayiamadaisyHappening 1
A woman coming into the office for a meeting called and said she was on our street but she couldn't find our building. No fewer than three of my colleagues stood around the phone giving her directions over the top of each other. I opened a window and waved to her; she waved back and found her way to the office. For this, my colleagues deemed me 'brilliant'.
Happening 2
A doctor rang the office. He had his laptop on the desk next to his desktop computer; he wanted to get a file from one to the other, but it was 'too big to email'. My colleague talking to him said, 'I don't know, I'll ask Alicia.' I suggested he use a memory stick. For this, I was deemed 'a genius'.
I mean, I'm happy to take the accolades. I just can't help but feel they've set the bar for brilliance a bit low.
In other news, a candidate for the local council put an ad in the local paper asking us to email him with any queries we had. About what he'd do in council, presumably, not just any old thing we were wondering. Anyway, this man's email address is dancing_2005@domainname.com. I don't know that dancing_2005 necessarily says 'elect this man' to me.
