Bouquet from the CEO (3 Days Ago)Last year our company CEO came to our office and selected people were allowed to dine out with him (and as usual for these affairs it turned out to be a very very boozy occasion - involving my biggest hangover for a decade) After the first meal (there were two, one German one Korean) he decided that he was my new BFF and that I must sit with him at the Korean restaurant. I was, I'm half-ashamed to say, totally drunk but apparently (according to others there) very witty and hilarious. I also called him on some corporate bs and his insistance on saying at every speech "I'm just a simple engineer I don't know how I got to be CEO" - and he agreed with me, with a massive barking laugh, that yes, it is fun when he gives an order and 16 people jump to attention  He's a very charming chap, actually, and a lot of fun (as a non-Korean and very very low down in the food chain I think he could be quite relaxed around me and my colleagues who were also there because we're no threat to his position, and he can't do anything to affect our day-to-day lives). He was in our office the week I was off sick after my operation. And apparently in advance he'd sent a mail with 3 names of people who absolutely MUST be there for this time's dinner, booze-up and karaoke. And I was on it. But I couln't attend, so he got the HR assistant to arrange a bouquet for me which has just arrived. And obviously, it's nothing to him at all to just say: "send flowers" and it's taken care of. But he had to come up with that idea himself, because the card is signed in his name and I know that nobody would dare unless he said to do it. So, although it's a bit bs, it's quite cute. And so, contrary to unspoken company regulations (that even forbid me to email anyone at VP level or above) I'll write and thank him.

I'll hit The Silmarillion next. Haven't read that in a while either. Anyway. While I was at my mum's in February, my bro came up with his offspring. My nephew is 14 and we don't really know each other at all. He and my bro were admiring my mum's latest Discworld book - not sure what it was but there was a pocket in the back with a street map of Ankh-Morpok. (I have one - but it's just a separate map, like an OS street map) we got talking and I mentioned that I want to frame my map of A-M and put it on the wall, then get a map of middle earth, and put that up too. And my nephew - bless his socks - suggested I read LOTR if I like maps. Anyway, I decided that we should both have one so I've got him one for his birthday, and one for me at the same time. They arrived today and they are totally spiffy.   Click here to discuss this (61 replies, Latest reply: 4 Days Ago) gah. car is kaput (5 Weeks Ago) Don't need this.
