Can’t. Shopping. You keep losing my knickers. Need more.

Fancy lunch then? You can take me through those goosebumps one by one.

It was invigorating to make your acquaintance in the Mako meeting today.

You are a breath of fresh air of the Alpine variety.

Your positivity and enthusiasm are just what this jaded old company needs.

Perhaps we can do a little inter-departmental bonding.

Why not start with lunch?

Wow, little old me invited to lunch by one of advertising’s “living legends”! I’d really, really love to but I’m afraid I’m busy. Maybe some other time? Katie P

I am snowed under here. There is no way I will be able to escape for lunch.

Could you be a treasure and pop out for a sandwich around 1:00?

Parma Ham, Mozzarella and a drizzle of olive oil on Focaccia would be perfect.

re:	catchings up

I am sorry to be all quiet on the e-mailing front today but Friday morning is our weekly Reaching Out session. This is where we are gathering in circles, holding of hands and discussing frankly our “issues.” No holds are barring and everyone from the little post-room girl to Top Cheese like me is speaking of their minds. Today we are overrunning because Astrid, our little post-room girl, is bringing in her puppies for us all to be sharing.

Now I am back in the land of cybernetspace and I am sorry you are losing Kimbelle. Maybe you will find that every clod has silvery linings!

You are remaining eerie silent on the Coke matter. I am appreciating that you are treading delicately with your own Creation Director and are not wishing to be hurting his feelings, but I am needing you to press “THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO!” on “Fizzy Whizzy Pop” soon. There are many grounds to be preparing!

Ee-aye-adios – Pertti

Simon, congratulations on your splendid Mako presentation. I just bumped into young Katie and she was thrilled by it all. Perhaps I could buy you lunch to celebrate your triumph. We have much to discuss. As well as the shoot there is the matter of delegating our responsibilities while we are
ex patria.
As respective heads of the client service and creative functions we must not leave any bases uncovered. Let me know if you are free.

I am up to my neck clearing the decks before departure.

I could manage a speedy main course, however. The Ivy suit?
