I’m an easy mark especially first thing in the morning.
Jen is our lovely gym trainer at Entrust. She looks innocent & sweet. Here she is at our Christmas gift exchange.
She’s an excellent trainer. She is also really good at telling stories. Sometimes they are true and sometimes…
I missed the early morning class today. I guess my NYC trip (getting home at midnight) had caught up to me. I met up with Dave I. a little later for coffee. Here’s his recounting of it:
Dave I. You missed Jen’s news <assumes solemn expression>
Me What news?
Dave I. The real reason behind their trip to Phoenix. The company was negotiating with Lance for him to take on responsibility for the Asia-Pacific region.
Me Wow!
Dave I. They are moving to Vancouver. The transfer is effective, I think, July 1st.
Andy (who was also in the room) What!? Jen didn’t say anything to me about this! <grumbles>
Me So we are losing her…
Dave I. You know what else Jen said?
Me What?
Dave I. April Fools!
Got me. They both did. Dave did an excellent job of telling it solemnly and with conviction. He couldn’t hold it in very long though. The smile was starting to show.
Yup, I’m an easy mark, especially first thing in the morning.
