Mr X is a gentleman who visits me frequently.

He has a rather high powered position in a company that shall remain nameless.  This tale is amusing that I have even told Mr X on many occasions that I am going to blog about him, and of course, he has no objection, for if he did then I would not do so, but in any case his identity is kept secret.

So as I was saying, Mr X is a  high powered executive in a large organisation.  It goes without saying that he is indeed a busy man but he seems to always find time to come and visit me!

Where this story becomes amusing is the fact that Mr X likes to nip out to Chez Alexandra during the daytime and as his super efficient secretary runs his intensely busy diary she is more or less aware of his every step and of course needs to be (apart from his meetings with me!).

So when Mr X decides that he needs some Alexandra relief, what does he do?  He does this.  He will leave his computer on, leave his desk as it would be if he was there, ie; papers strewn all over it, mug of coffee half drunk, phone, jacket on his chair.  So in theory it looks as though he has literally just popped out of his office, possibly to chat to another colleague, or spend a penny or pop to the canteen.  It literally looks like he will be back in a minute!

This always makes me chuckle as we imagine people wandering in to his office and thinking “oh he must be around, I will pop back in a bit“.  Even the super efficient secretary assumes he is somewhere in the building (and from what I hear, she is not one to be easily fooled).

So the next time you go to your boss’s office and he is not there, well just think what he could be doing………….. Or if you are the boss, you naughty boy!

Love to all
Alexandra
