Diary of a Notting Hill Nobody – 25 July 2008

Tamzin Lightwater's unique take on the week

issue 26 July 2008

Monday

Everyone assuming I’ve been keeping up with Events during my horse holiday with Sesame but as I explained to Nigel I was in a very remote part of the Isle of Wight. Must say, it’s all a bit different from when I went away. Lots of American flags about the place and ‘Obama For President’ banners. What happened to the man whose family invented oven chips? Also, empty desks everywhere. Apparently, Jenny, Jilly and Janey have all gone to Google. Dave now thinking of offering us all promotions to keep us. I asked Gary whether we couldn’t just have a bit more money but he said I should keep my ‘uncosted subversive statements’ to myself if I wanted to keep my job at all. Then he told me to put my pony picnic photos away and get prepping for big meeting later on Project O.
