I’m dead good at worrying. It’s one of the things that I’m genuinely good at. I’m looking forward to the day it becomes an Olympic sport so that I can represent my country – I’m that good. Be it having a leak in my flat, not receiving an item I’ve ordered or getting from my front door to a cab whilst in full drag, I will spend the maximum amount of time possible worrying.
Over the last nine months the main object of my worry has been an invite to spend two hours in the company of my CEO, expressing opinions about the company and showing enthusiasm for and having ideas about its future. Everyone in the company has to do it but I have a special worry in my heart for this event. It happens tomorrow. I am very scared.
My overriding view of work is that it’s a means to an end. I don’t really care about the company I’m just here to be paid so that I can survive. Don’t get me wrong, I work very hard, working to my limits and showing my full potential. But I find it ear-bleedingly dull. My future lies in becoming an international tranny pop sensation and not data entry. But sometimes we need to bite the corporate fist that feeds us.
This is how I imagine it could go:
CEO: So Nelson, in which ways do you think we can improve the company?
Nelson: Let’s burn it to the ground and dance in on ashes singing the Pointy Pointy song.
However, this is a more likely scenario:
CEO: So Nelson, in which ways do you think we can improve the company?
Nelson: Erm…..well…..I dunno…..erm…..yeah…..trousers.
Wish me luck.

Good luck, old bean!
Will you be doing the interview in full drag?
Good luck Nelson.
I worry loads too.
And now I am also worried about you getting from your front door to the cab in full drag.
Bugger.
You look gorgeous though.
Mr B has shown me pics. And the new songs sound fab.
Don’t be such a worry wart Nelson, I’m sure that your boss won’t ask you how to expand the company, cure cancer and solve all world ills or if she/he does, he/she will probably not be too bothered if you don’t possess any world shattering insights.
PS can’t wait to hear your new stuff, I understand that a rather talented and drop dead gorgeous drummer slash percussionist happens to be guesting on it.
