Kate has made herself at home in Jez's team. The air that 'she's one of us now' emanates smugly from his pack of coyotes. Call me paranoid but I can feel my one time ally beginning to switch allegiance.
Anne was late in today but she seemed to be in a surprisingly good mood. "Hello Luke. How are you?" she beamed at me in a way that had me looking aroudn to see if another Luke was behind me. "Ok, thanks." I said in a non-commital way.
Later, Gary pulled me to one side. "Anne said that you were extremely negative this morning when she said hello to you," I didn't know what to say. Ok. So I didn't jump up and down clapping my hands. I was busy. I had work to do. I'm a team leader not a game show presenter on speed. "I just said I was ok," I told him.
"Well she isn't too happy about it. You haven't done yourself any favours. Be more positive next time," Gary said.
This afternoon I sounded Ted out as a potential second to replace Kate. He thanked me but wasn't interested. He didn't want any responsibility. In his words, he'd been there, done that and bought the extortionately-priced limited-edition tea towel from the gift shop. I told him what had happened earlier. "Surely its more important to do a good job than to be an empty suit with a vacant smile," I said.
Ted just smiled and patted me on the shoulder. "Of course it is," he said. But his smile seemed to indicate that he was humouring me.
