Necessary but a bit boring update.

I haven't updated this blog for a while and so much has happened. The last update saw the NDDC send me the four documents, awarding me the contract. Now Martin got all rashy, pestering me to update him and generally being bossy about what I should do next. I do love to ignore him!!!


From Martin

Dear Grey Being,,


I am very happy to hear from you confirming that you received the award documents. That is to show you my sincerity and seriousness.


I am very happy. Please do contact them and demand the next step and update me.


Regards,
Martin


And again.....


Dear Grey Being,


Information reaching me from the office of the NDDC states that they have sent a draft contract to you. Please this is to show that God is on our side.


It is very important you contact them as soon as possible to avoid delay. Do this and update me.


Regards,
Martin


 And again .......





Dear Grey Being,


I hope that you are not out of your office.. Please do confirm to me as i was told that you have receive a draft contract, this is not the time to delay, we need to work hand in hand.

Do get back to me.

Regards,
Martin


I finally decide to reply.

 
Good afternoon Martin

I must send my most sincere apologies for the delay in contacting you. I sent the draft contract away for our lawyers to check over and there are no issues with it at all you will be pleased to hear. Unfortunately, we had a major crash of our entire computer network which brought utter chaos to the company. We got the very best technical staff in to remedy the problem and they have worked tirelessly for the last 24 hours to fix the situation. It turns out, one of the cleaners had unplugged the main network server to plug her hoover in and forgot to plug it back in again afterwards! Hasten to add, she has now been dismissed.


So Martin, everything seems above board and complete with the draft contract. I shall contact the NDDC forthwith and apologise for the delay. I shall of course update you as soon as I hear anything in response.

May the High Lord Rezillo look favourably on us all.

Regards

Grey.




And from Martin.

 
Dear Grey Being,


Thanks for your kind update.  Please it is very important you ask your lawyer to sign the contract and return to them. Please this will enable me give them close marking as we are getting closer to finalize the contract.


So contact them and do update me.

Martin
