I look forward to you mocking the Parisians 🤣

be careful. poor @sarahjeong.bsky.social was minding her own business out on the piss one night and ended up reporting on a failed coup.

Slipping away, but who knows when our special skills and insight might be needed? 🤷🏼‍♀️

What if there's an emergency podcast you need to appear on?

Live footage of @andrewmueller.bsky.social trying to rope in Marie for one more podcast recording*

*Andrew is far too sensible to ever use the phrase "emergency podcast" tbf

andrewmueller.bsky.social•2 days ago

I can exclusively reveal that today's Daily *will* have a French theme, in that it is being broadcast from Paris.

This feels like the inverse of the classic NHS OOO "I am away and this inbox is not being monitored until X, for urgent clinical inquiries please contact XYZ"

*Person allegedly not monitoring their inbox proceeds to reply anyway*

Yessss 😄

I have every Wednesday afternoon off to go to therapy and always put my OOO on like me being gone for 3 hours is going to be some kind of disaster

youngvulgarian.marieleconte.com•2 days ago

anyway yeah I'm off to Paris for the long weekend, back at my desk on Tuesday morning, please do try to hold it together without me during those three (3) working days

*Returns to the smoking rubble of British journalism* "Where were you Marie? It's too late now. It's all gone to hell."

"all we needed was one more light but thought-provoking 1200w feature but you weren't there.......you weren't there"

It's probably bad how tempted I now am to send you an email with URGENT in the subject line and have it just be a photo of a capybara or something.

just-me123.bsky.social•2 days ago

Has there ever been a really urgent email? : )

samwilkin.bsky.social•2 days ago

The lack of urgent emails is the best thing about freelancing! And shows how much of the 'urgency' in corporate life is either manufactured or down to bad management.

Don’t. Delete it and don’t check your email.

infinityloop.bsky.social•2 days ago

Meh - you might only miss the end of the world - it’s cool. I’ll hit your in box in that case. I’d rather be in Paris too. Bon Voyage!

iamnicksimpson.bsky.social•2 days ago

Your only risk is some overly dramatic emailer who believes that anything they send *is* urgent.
