Kate and I delivered the sculpture to Uncle on Wednesday night and I am amazed that he failed to detect the stench of terrible-home-made-sculpture. He loved it. He said the artist had a 'strong vision' and the lines were 'powerful'; that he could not imagine a 'more perfect vision of strength and masculinity'.
I was instructed to thank Ben and let him know that the sculpture would take poll position among the firm's art work outside the seventeenth floor client conference room.
I am obviously going to have to find some other way of bringing Ben down than through gifts of faux art. Rather than hurting his partnership prospects, I think the sculpture actually enhanced them.
The vote was yesterday and it is almost a dead cert that Ben is now one of 'them'. He was so excited that he is organising premature celebration drinks after work. And I have to go, because if he IS a partner then technically, he's now my boss.
I wonder how long it will take for a client to question the sculpture's merit or for a co-worker to point out that the charcoal plastic covered bull dog clips are the same as the ones in the stationery cupboard.

I would intend it differently though, to have the mopping extension installed behind bobsweep instead of under it and make it superior so that it could bear a bigger cloth. After the 2 hours is up remove the bag from the salt water solution, rinse it under cool tap water, and place it back into the aquarium filter. The SmartHinge louvered design of the system makes it quick and easy to access the interior components from all sides so you can maintain and clean your unit. You as the chef can decide to marinate the ribs or season them depending on your personal preferences.
