We are approaching the end of an era.
Monday will be the last day in her current posting for Suzi the Office Bombshell. She is moving on to a job in Private Office where she will perform some as yet unspecified function for the Minister. This is the Minister who was to have been Secretary of State until Two Jags told Tony precisely what to do with that part of the proposed reshuffle after the General Election back in May.
The place won't be the same without Suzi. She is one of the few people – make that the only person - I know who must have distilled water in her veins rather than blood. On the hottest of days she is able to sit at her desk covered in cardies and blankets complaining about the cold, while we watch lead melt and drip from the church roof. I have often suspected that being rather too clean living is the problem. She is a tea-total veggie. Actually, I don’t think she drinks tea, either. Not proper tea, anyway – that stuff that actually used to be part of a tea plant, as opposed to the stuff that gets called tea, but is just perfumed dandelion sweepings that somehow tastes of cold chewing gum, no matter how aromatic it smells in the cup. I’m pretty sure she doesn’t touch coffee either, just water and fruit juice.
It’s not right.
Mind you, all is not lost, as she can destroy chocolate and flap jacks faster than a plague of locusts.
Anyway, she’s off from Monday. We have no idea who will take up the existing post. I myself am thinking of putting a fiver on the cave troll option.
