Is MrGrumpy Number Six?

MrGrumpy allegedly had a conference call at 7:00am this morning, so to make sure he was in the cube farm in time, he got up at 5:45am.
By 7:00am he had a cup of coffee and dialed in... 7:05, 7:10, 7:15 nobody online, also no reply to his email.
Had the Titanic building been struck by an iceberg and sunk without trace?

7:25, still no reply to emails or anybody on the call... he double checked it was Tuesday and the call should have been at 7:00.

As he suspected the meeting was going on, but as he was unable to call from his end (via MrFaceTime) they had the meeting between them, not a problem, but an email would have helped.

After the meeting, MrA did call MrGrumpy and gave him a quick summary of progress.

This was not going to help alleviate MrGrumpy's feeling that he was generally in the dark and that he was only ever able to see about 4-6 tiny pieces of the 10,000 piece jigsaw he was expected to complete in a year.

Thinking about it, he was more like The Prisoner.  Being watched from afar, but little idea on how or what is needed to complete his mission and move on to the next level.

In general MrGrumpy feels the isolation is getting to him a bit. Without MrFaceTime helping him to keep in touch with Little MissNaughty, he would really be finding it tough.

He will find a week on Friday how much like Number Six he is, as it closes in on the Season 1 finale.
  • Can he escape back to the UK and have a weeks R&R in the Canaries? 
  • Can he can regain his optimism? 
  • Will he return for Season 2?
MrWhiteSox was back in town, he and MrGrumpy have customer meetings for the next couple of days. This time MrWhiteSox had got the rental car equivalent of "DustyBin" a Kia Soul.

The rest of the day went well and working with MrWhiteSox and the customers was returning some of MrGrumpy's optimism, especially as they would be going for a pint after work.

"I am not a number, I am a Grumpy man"
