Letter to a tea leaf!

Dear Sir/Madam/?

As a regular commuter, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the consideration you kindly displayed when you decided to alleviate National Rail of some of those highly annoying, pointless and irrelevant cables that sit by the side of the line last night.

I have to say that when I got up at 5am this morning to get to the station, I thought to myself, I really REALLY can't be bothered to sit on a train for 4 hours, to sit in an office in Manchester (this is completely true!) so imagine my delight that after getting to the station, boarding the train and sitting on it for over an hour to be told that you had removed those niggley cables and the train was going to have to stop in Leeds. Who wants to go to Manchester anyway?

And to think there was nothing else that I needed to do today other than sit at Leeds station for another 45 minutes to be told that I could either get on another train through to Bradford to then sit on another one to Manchester, or get on the same train to travel back to Hull.

So as it was I got my wish......I didn't have to go into the office today (well I did.....but rather I couldn't.....or to be completely honest I could have but it would have taken me another 180 minutes on top of what it should have taken me, and then all the fun of coming home!) As it is now it means that I now have some work to do tomorrow when I get to Manchester, approximately twice as much.

I should also thank you for my forthcoming role in the World's Biggest Coffee Morning in support of MacMillan Cancer Research. Thankfully not being in today meant that not only did I not have to sit at my desk but also that I missed today's team meeting, when roles were assigned. So imagine my delight that I got the very job that I wanted! "Trolley Dolly" with a uniform to be decided by the girls at work as a forfeit for not being in today (here's hoping that it is the short skirt, white crop top, blond wig and frilly apron.....I am told that this is a real possibility......although I assure everyone that no photographs will be taken....or if they are then they certainly will not be published!)

I am led to believe that it will however look something like this (although I cannot promise that it will look exactly like this....probably more like a shaved gorilla being squeezed into an outfit 10 sizes too small!)

So from the bottom of my heart.....I can only thank you for your kind consideration. I would simply ask that next time could you give us a little bit more notice, so that I can bring some files home.....or at least not bother getting up so early.

Kind regards!!!!!!!





The Boy!
