We were gearing up for our team Christmas lunch, which - as everyone knows, involves "Going out for lunch" and not coming back in the afternoon.
Just as we're doing so, one of my team - Kay - gets a client come over - "Oh - can you just change this a bit, please? And move that up. And make that bold ... actually ... what would it look like if we moved that over there, and had that in the corner instead? Could you make the text smaller? No not all the text just that bit ..."

I'm going to have to lock up after them anyway, so I send an email 'round saying "Go - I'll meet you there."

Another member of the team responds "Well - we might as well all wait until Kay's stopped having the piss taken out of her by that stupid client"

... just as, during a pause while her computer thinks, Kay decides to check her email.

With the client sitting next to her staring hard at her screen.

Somehow - through the magic of office science - I was the one who ended up being instructed to go and apologise.

There's about half of that missing.
Dramatis personae would help.

'she'? Who is she?

'matey'?
