Richard, Richard, Richard, Richard, Richard, Richard…oh sorry, it’s Michael isn’t it, sorry Richard, I mean Michael.
I just don’t buy it mate, I’m sorry, I’ve really tried to get my head around this…for weeks in fact.
I don’t have the science to back it up – it’s just instinct mate. And in the office environment, as any animal will tell you – instinct’s all you’ve got.
I’ve read your personal statement Richard – MICHAEL – which I appreciate you writing, I really do, but I just don’t buy it. I think the fact that you have tried to justify and explain your actions is highly…um…I know exactly the word I want…I just can’t think of…well is in your favour…ADMIRABLE! That’s the word I wanted. Highly Admirable, but you see that’s the problem. I don’t think it adequately excuses what you did – it’s the explanation I have a problem with if you like…as I said, I don’t profess to be a woman of science – I’ve got more of a sales background – but it just doesn’t make sense. There’s an expression the Native Americans’ use which is ‘all hat and no cattle’ that’s what I think you are, Michael – I think you’ve got a great hat, but no livestock to speak of.
You say it’s a new drug on the market, so perhaps they will discover more about it in the future, but for now, Michael, I think you have shown some aggression in the work place and I know there was an incident in which you hid some spoons. I’ve not been given all the details but, and as I said, I don’t know whether perhaps you have had a reaction to this medication, but you’re certainly not being yourself so I think maybe some time off would be advisable. Take some time off mate. Relax a bit and we’ll see how you do…one of the girls said you like painting…doing a bit of art and that, so there we go…that’s definitely something I would encourage. I quite like that Jack Vettriano myself. Michael, you’ve gone very pale is everything OK?
