      Preface

      This is a book of stories which I wrote whilst musing on a person I worked with briefly.

      The order is not as they were written, but I thought it flowed better this way.

      I really liked him, but he hated me so much that he got me fired for trying to give him a book.

A histrionic actressy-type they had taken on was throwing a tantrum, apparently because of some unknown issue with the team leader. She was strutting around the large open plan office, having thrown her sunglasses vaguely in the direction of her desk. She was flouncing sufficiently for her cape to be hitting the heads of
