Great. Looking forward to this all week - first chance to get out of the office in days.
3pm - client (who shall remain nameless) calls.
"I've got a sales conference on Thursday" he says. "Oh good," says I. He says "I need the PR plan for the first quarter next year, list of publications, PRs and features so I can present it."
"Ah." I say. "If the conference is on Thursday, you'll need this tomorrow, won't you? Lunchtime?"
"Of course," he says.
"OK, we'll get it to you - but just as a matter of interest, how long have you known about the conference?" I ask.
"Er, since September...[silence] Ah. I see what you mean. I didn't plan that very well did I?" he says.
"You could put it that way," I say. "On your desk by 12."
Which - in short - means I'm sending my apologies for tonight. Have one (or preferably more) for me. Buggrit.
