Early start

I am clearly not cut out to be an auditor – so it’s lucky that I am NOT an auditor, isn’t it?

This rather pointless observation is brought to you after a brief examination of my email inbox when I got into the office this morning. I have three emails from the same woman covering audit queries for a couple of our recipients. That’s not all that unusual this time of year, but the fact that they were time and date stamped 22.48 yesterday, Sunday and 01.33 and 01.36 this morning…

I have responded to the emails, but she hasn’t come back to me yet. I’d phone, but that would be impish…

Nah, wake her up. Anyone that emails that late on a sunday/early on a monday clearly has some kind of personality disorder than ends in ....arseholism.

You are a bad, bad man.

But your logic is impeccable.

heh, you know me too well my good sir ;)

What's arseholish about it? Maybe she just has a whole bunch of work to do. There are a fair few occasions where I have still been working (and therefore e mailing) at that time of night when things just have to be done. It goes with the territory of being professional.

Now, if she was to ring a personal mobile, that WOULD be arseholish.

Why would phoning be impish?

This was meant in jest and flippancy and totally non-serious. I sincerely apologise from the bottom of my heart for any offence caused from my comment.

Because it would imply the need for an instant response where both sender and recipient both know there is no need. Plus, she'd been working the dog hours to get to that point.

Ah, I see. That makes sense.

Oh good. Can't really tell from comments in text. :-)
