[Silliness] Mastering the art of comic timing.

Our Director of Operations is showing a potential funder around the office. We spent a chunk of yesterday making it presentable, and I even tidied my desk¹. They've been closeted in a meeting for the past hour. Then they do the "office tour". As they arrive in the open area behind my desk, I sneeze. Loudly². Three times. And then have to blow my nose. Loudly. Twice. Apparently the boss didn't look that impressed. My line manager has now suggested referring to me as Hornblower for the rest of the day.

¹ OK, not very much, admittedly, but I compiled some piles, and took home last year's Dilbert calendar
² Actually, they were only medium sneezes for me, as the windows are still intact, we don't need to go looking for missing monitors, and women dressed as schoolgirls haven't been whisked off with their little dogs to strange technicolor countries ...

Hummm so breaking things and spreading germs - a productive day then? Hows the cough?

[grin] I didn't break the electrics. They did it themselves! Meanwhile the cough is a bit better, but still there.

What is it you do?

Many people have asked, there are a few theories but nothing substantial or proven.

;-P

As little as possible, by choice. Officially, I work for SANE, the mental health charity, combining the thrilling roles of helping maintain the huge services database that supports our information line, and helping administer our network (in a somewhat haphazard, no-idea-what-I'm-actually-doing) type way.
That's what I get paid to do, anyway ...
