put down your gun there, laddy

30Jun09

Y’ain’t The Milky Bar Kid, y’know.

It appears that diplomacy may have won the day in the media hostage negotiation department folks. I almost don’t want to type this for fear of invoking Murphy’s Law and the whole thing going to pot in a rather spectacular way.

Or worse.

The whole thing going to pot without so much as a small raspberry noise.

After MONTHS of my lovely lot mucking Mr National Journalist around, it appears that this thing might now actually be coming off. As in, holy moly, we might get some coverage out of it.

Or, more specifically, I might be able to put another national clipping in my coverage file. Ok, you PRs who are used to national coverage every day might yawn, but for my company, it’s dance around the room news.

And I think I am in love with this journalist. He has the patience of a saint. (Or we have a REALLY good story. I don’t think it is the latter, however).

    Another demonstration – along with saving copyright-breaching directors from themselves – of the value that a professional like you brings to your company. Or to put it another way, validation of the decision not to make your role redundant. Well done you.

    Hmm, The Milky Bar Kid may be strong and tough but he works for the Evil Nestle.

    Yes, yes… we are ALMOST GO! We have a date set, just need the time confirmed.

    Ian – Thanks. None of the roles needed making redundant. The business just couldn’t afford to keep all of us.
