Hey K, Hey Al,

Thanks for the H advice- I won't tell him the papers are coming then.

K- I did suggest that CEO give me his sperm once (or Austin did while we three were speaking). He looked a bit scared and ran away to his office. It was really funny, poor thing!

Al- you're right that I probably do confuse the hell out of CEO. In my defence though, he confuses the hell out of me, so at least we're equal even though it's not particularly solution based behaviour! I'm trying backing off because I've tried being very nice to him and it didn't give him room to come towards me. So far the backing off plan but being nice about it seems to be doing OK- he was very sweet to me on Thursday and Friday. And at least backing off a bit gives me the option to 'attack' in the future. An immediate attack would leave no room to manouevre if it takes me a while to find a new job.

My builders are making great progress on the flat and they're so funny and clean. I do like cleanliness is a builder- a very important trait. I think the main work will be done this week after which I can get stuck into making it all look pretty so that'll be fun.
