I had my promotion announced yesterday and some of the reactions were pretty funny. The Aussie (our perennial number one salesman) messaged from Brisbane or wherever he is with the words: 'Some title you've got there, but I always had you down as a silent achiever'. Erm, thanks? The boss (he of the former bungs and Spanish residency) sent me a one word message 'Congrats' and then phoned me and didn't mention it at all, which to be fair was funny as fuck, so fair play. Meanwhile the Arab, currently holed up in Riyadh, was slightly more effusive, texting me with the promise of 'a gift of your choice up to the value of £150' as congratulations. I told him that this would not be necessary and so avoided cringeing myself to death, but it was nice nonetheless to be subject to a LIV Golf style buyout attempt.
