Hello?

Me? Represent you? Are you sure I'm gonna do a good job?


I mean, here it is. The "going out getting to know more people" thingy. And I did it.

(Besides the fact that it's a Martell event, meaning I can have as much brandy as I need to calm my nerves)

I did it. There were a pool of female participants, which I (proxy) had to get to know and then write down 3 names on a piece of paper and "match make" them for a date on 10th Feb. No men were there to see the girls, just two groups, female participants and proxies.

Small world going smaller, I met two other people from the company, there as proxies. Excellent.


All in all, I did walk the room, scan the room and chat up as many girls as I can. No wonder Jude got me for this job. I'm a natural.

So so natural that I told the girls I met, I'm not a mama-san!

So, it was 2 hours of my evening, doing that thingy for Jude and then back at my desk. Jude was so afraid I wasn't gonna make it, or remember to make it that he had to call me 10 to 7 to remind me. Ha ha.

I ran out of the office (still obviously in my uniform) and into the next hotel. Wow.

I did it. And now, it's entirely up to Jude to go meet his "match".


I am certain he realised that I could have just as well sabotaged him as I did "fixing him up".


But I'm a nice person. And I won't be doing that to Jude who gave me the Uncle Jack line that I still so love.

Well, here it is again : I have to help my uncle jack off a horse vs I have to help my Uncle Jack off a horse.


Take care. Love you.
