alone again or



You are working away from home and during the day find yourself booked into the same hotel as a colleague. You arrange to meet for dinner at 8.30. You sit in the bar. 8.30 goes by. 8.35 goes by. 8.40 goes by. At 8.45 you get a text saying, ‘as yr not hre im goin 2 th chipi’. You text your colleague saying ‘bt Im sat in the bar u 4kwit’. Your colleague calls and you discover that you’re booked into the hotels of the same name some ten miles apart.

Do you

a) Offer to drive to his hotel to enjoy a tawdry Beefeater meal whilst discussing the relative merits of the Rational Unified Process and the Dynamic Systems Development Method in an offshore delivery environment?
b) Ask him to drive to your hotel to enjoy a tawdry Beefeater meal whilst discussing the relative merits of the Rational Unified Process and the Dynamic Systems Development Method in an offshore delivery environment?
c) Breathe a sigh of relief, say ‘never mind then, see you tomorrow’ and order room service whilst watching ‘I’m a Celebrity’ in the buff?
