for the phone to ring. It's a superhuman ability, this, close my eyes, the phone rings...
If I keep them open in only rings every few minutes, the last-minute office manager delegated the chore of finding an up-market venue for their Christmas Party, Friday or Saturday night would be perfect, a quiet area if we have it...
I can barely suppress my laughter. Not a chance, I tell them, I can get them in at 5:00 if they promise to leave by 6:00, the news doesn't go down so well, we've been booked for a month already....
So it goes. Weekends until 1:00 in the morning, weeknights until late and later, no days off until Christmas...
