Today we found out that someone very senior who works here has a smartwatch that buzzes whenever we tweet so we've scheduled this for late at night just to annoy them.
Wakey wakey, rise and shine Very Senior Person.
They’ve put a meeting in with us for 9am so we can only assume they’re thrilled.
When people use the big red exclamation mark on emails, that’s a good sign, right?
Ah. We appear to have misread the situation. Oh dear.
Very Senior Person: “Do you think it’s funny to wake up very senior people in the middle of the night?”

Us: “Yes.”
Very senior person: “How would you like it if I woke you up?”

Us: “That would be so helpful.”

VSP: “I didn’t mean-“

Us: “Could you ring at half seven, then again at quarter to, then at eight, then at eight fifteen? Oh and maybe eight fifty eight just in case?”
Us: “Why don’t you just turn the notifications off?”

Very Senior Person: “Because the only thing worse than knowing you’ve tweeted is not knowing that you’ve tweeted.”
Very Senior Person: "Look, all I'm asking is that you try and behave for thirty seconds."

Us:

VSP:

Us: "How long was that?"

VSP: "About twelve."
We don't respect Do Not Disturb, which is why we're now banned from Premier Inns. https://twitter.com/JamGloom/status/1334801522446774272?s=20
