Dear Co-worker,
Yes, you're very clever for keeping cold callers on the phone for fifteen
minutes, keeping them off script, calling their bosses a bunch of crooks and
trying to discover their company details so you can give them YOUR prepared
speech about how they if haven't filed accounts for two years and are due to be
struck off blah blah blah.
But even if you do recount the whole conversation to me word for word, there is
only so much validatory platitude I can give. Please desist now.
Dear Co-worker, what a wide circle of friends you have. For almost every topic of conversation you have a "mate in my pub" connected to it. It must be amazing to have such a varied social life.
Dear co-worker, I get it. You're feeling disenfranchised. You don't like any of the parties. So spoil your balot paper. Protest in the streets. Moan on twitter. DON'T hand your balot paper to your kid nephews to fill in. There's a reason why the nutjob parties have the most eye-catching logos.
