The Metric System

My Dear Princess and Dear Fellow,

Once again Caro comes to my rescue on the blip. She sent me this picture today of her purchasing mandarins. She said she felt like she was in a scene from The Godfather. 

You know what she is talking about, I'm sure.

The reason I've been slack lately is the sheer amount of work we have. I actually have a lot just for Ellie alone, but because of idiot politics they've given me even more to do.

I'm hanging in there. If things haven't improved by next month it will be time to reconsider my options however. 

Ellie put it much better than me. Her boss asked her how much we had to do and she immediately replied, "a f*ck-tonne". 

Then she blinked. "Oh you want an actual figure?" she said. "In that case, a METRIC f*ck-tonne."

Today I got to sit with Ellie nearly all day and we kept each other laughing. She is why I'm hanging on for September.
