Seriously...

How thick would you have to be...?

It must be the holidays...

...because emails with this kind of thing in usually go straight in the junk mail. And are usually from Tina. But on this occasion, thanks, Sarah, for wasting a considerable chunk of my Saturday morning! Baaaaa!



I haven't got above Bobbing Bobcat yet; I have only had one coffee though....

Mistaken Identity...

This has now happened to me twice in one week...

Firstly, someone has my email address and thinks I want to work at Barclays...

From: ********@barclayscapital.com

Apologies I did leave a message on your voicemail about 2 weeks ago and I thought it strange you didn't reply.

Unfortunately we have decided not to progress with your application. The feedback on the day was positive from Damien and it is obvious that you are very keen and ambitious however the lack of experience in a sales environment is a concern for Carl and myself.

Good luck with your future career and please give me a call if you want to chat through

Regards
Carol

...which I don't. (But I am harbouring some dislike for Carl and Carol who obviously think I am not good enough. I may not have the necessary sales experience, Carol, but I know it's a concern "for Carl and me", not "for Carl and myself"...)


And secondly, someone has my mobile number and thinks I am Tony Gowers, National Trail Officer for the North Downs Way...



...which I am not. Although if I got a free yellow hi-viz jacket with my job, I might want to be...

One flew over the Junk Mail filter....

Now, I would never normally admit to finding anything in Tina's junk mail remotely amusing or entertaining in any way, consisting as it normally does of such things as...

• Fwd: Would you hold the ladder? Note: forwarded message attached. I thought this was really funny...i hope you like it as much as i did! Tinaxx or
  

• Fwd: FW: Mates Note: forwarded message attached. Is that a rag doll....or really a person? Txxxx or
  

• Fwd: FW: Tennis Note: forwarded message attached. This is good fun! My record so far is 11...I only had a quick go...honest! Txxxxxxxxxxxxx or
  

• Fwd: Fwd: Fwd: Fwd: Bubble wrap Note: forwarded message attached. I personally found this quite therapeutic...have a pop! Txxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You know, the kind of thing your inbox is permanently plagued with. Especially if you know Tina....

However, I have obviously let my guard down, (it must be the holidays), because I have to admit this is very addictive, requiring, as it does, skill and precision and dexterity etc, and not just being a poor quality video of a bloke up a ladder with a kilt on, which was the last thing she sent to 237 unsuspecting friends and family...



*edit: I didn't kill the dog either...
