December 8th 2008 – Major Problems over Minor Issues
There was no update yesterday, because I had to send everyone away before things degenerated to a bad level all over a few attachments to the sleigh. Now I know why we don’t allow attachments to be fitted to our clients vehicles, it is too much trouble.
It all started with Santa wanting a hot cocoa dispenser and a cookie warmer fitting to the sleigh for the sea legs of the journey on Christmas Eve. This seemed a reasonable request so we agreed.
Then Prancer and Dancer wanted a dock and speakers for their ipods, which is the point I should have sensed that trouble was looming, perhaps it is this cough that dulled my senses. Like a fool I agreed to the ipod dock.
Donner then decided she wanted a Kebab warmer, Cupid wanted a charger for her Blackberry so she could Twitter her progress through the night and Vixen wanted a power source for her GHD’s, so she would look at her best.
Rudolph got in on the act next wanting Sat-Nav and it was this point that I lost it, I mean why does Rudolf need Sat-Nav I thought that his nose was the solution to all navigation problems. If we fit Sat-Nav why do we need Rudolf.
As I say, it might be because I am feeling a bit under the weather myself, but I instructed Fred to remove all attachments and fit nothing in future. I have added to the policy that the fitting of attachments is strictly prohibited.
Perhaps I should avoid the reindeer barn for a while and deal with non-animal related issues for a couple of days.
