Just turned up to work later than usual, but half an hour early for a meeting I had arranged for 1pm. On the way in found myself hungry and despite having increasing reservations about eating pork, bought two bacon rolls - two - which I ate as I walked. Was finishing stuffing one into my face when I walk through the front doors to the studios and see sitting in the cafe the usual array of bright young things and a chap in a suit, looking out of place and know instantly he's my meet.
Why turn up for a meeting half an hour early? Why?
My walk is 40+ minutes, and I had emergent meat sweats to boot, so am basically a shambolic sweating mass of incoherence. Can't shake hands because of bacon grease and ketchup drips. A great first impression.
Never turn up early. Never.
- Is he Japanese?shapesalad
- No, very English. My Japanese clients have never turned up early. Nor particularly late either, mind.detritus
- he turned up early as detritus' place is so far north he assumed it'd take far longer to get there than it did.hans_glib

- gosh he must be sooo creative, i mean look at him - sweaty, covered in grease and ketchup... god, i can taste the talent!"hans_glib
- I've got the obligatory Italian-supplied fisherman's wool hat and over-sized scarf on, so he used the word 'artistic' at least three times. I am very much not.detritus
- grease and hat say otherwisehans_glib
- scarf, hat... instead of PSB, we should try to photoshop identikit how we imagine QBN's to appear.shapesalad
