When she got there...

The tuck shop has been replaced by a stationery cupboard. The change is so complete, so unprovisional, that I suddenly wonder if I have in fact been hallucinating the tuck shop for the past year or so: munching my way through chocolate-bar-sized highlighter pens, chugging back bottles of Tipp-ex, occasionally giving in to the temptation of a Tunnock's caramel printer cartridge.

How's your lunchbreak?

I was expecting a rather odd lunchbreak, having been invited to a working lunch with the title of "What turns engineers on?"

(Un?)fortunately it turned out to be to do with a new recruitment campaign; our parent company has hired some marketing consultants to find out how best to appeal to the type of people they want to attract. The result was three engineers in a room with a marketing consultant and a large plate of sandwiches and chocolate biscuits.

Could have been worse. At least the marketing consultant was quite human.

I expected this to end: at least the marketing consultant was quite tasty.

But apparently not.

Ha ha! Actually, he wasn't bad, now you come to mention it... :-)

Just to be absolutely clear, was that the result of the invitation or the result of the discussion?
