I'm very very very sorry, I mis-subtracted and so underesteemed yr typing skills: 105wpm @very-least, 225wpm to the credulous [you see, Dr. Haggard, this is why I don't even bother trying]. Concluding that such ability is shamefully wasted on yr civil service duties, I've checked out the Times Appointments Section for you, and found THIS: an Executive Opportunity in a publishing software company, based in either Dublin or London, with starting celery of 80,000 l. 0 s. 0d. + car. The work seems pretty trivial, all they require of you is "looking after a personal territory," being aware of "the need to endorse third party relationships," & becoming "a key figure within the organisation." I would expect you to fit this by judicious delegation into yr mornings, in order to have yr afternoons free for my entertaintment. I've mailed them yr cv; when they get back to you, as they undoubtedly will, seeing that I didn't mention yr being on bail, just dismember that you have seven years experience preferably within a software multinational company, once lost a yacht-race to the director's charming wife, have no designs on her, and are fluent in several dialects of ancient Chinese. No, I still have the German-English dictionary of the aunt of the gardener of H800; borrowed it last time the echos were schweigening, just can't seem to find it amid my other precioussions: a sprung trap and an M. of my wary own, & who could ask for more: this is why self is tantrumatic at airline-desks, shakes self's head & self's polished revolver adamantly and states that self is not going anywhere So There without self's excess baggage. "Challenge": yes, a charming piece, as I recall, would've posted it myself if only I'd thought of it, and would probably condone everything it said except that I have no intention of distressing myself by reading it. Get it straight, I didn't write that. I wrote only what I damn well want to have written; soon, I shall develop a huff and require you to send me back my epthistles perfumigated in pretty green ribbon: O, how self is stamped upon! And I cared, and you stayed, and, in the end, programmed to [fish], I fear I shall be quite care-worn. You, darling, are a confounded idiot, but, now I've conned & founded you, I'm keeping you (for as long as ... that's ... okay). Hello, Jeffrey, haven't seen you for a long long time. And, while Bowie's having his day, "hope you're happy": ashes to ashes for you, m'dear, for it must be such a trial looking up those H.s, uea info being quite a dreadful bore, and if you search the easy way, from within the system, you're on my terroritory & I warn you that [text trails off obscured by scrawled annotations of [jellyfish] [jellyfish] [jellyfish]; scholars differ as to the significance of these comments.] H. (M.'s Secret Service)
