Hay girl goes underwater

Received humourous email blast (To All) from Harassed Colleague whose primary chagrin is maintaining  a meteorologically sound environment in the HayOffice and suchlike:

HARASSED COLLEAGUE: Sorry if this email does not relate to you.  The air con on level XYZ has been reported and technicians are on site now.

For some reason, find this very hysterical and, inspired by recent viewing of Malibu Barbie Underwater Adventures,  promptly respond.

Dear Harassed Colleague,

Indeed, this does not relate to me. I am currently saving Oceania and wearing a mermaid’s tail, and certainly do not have time to deal with trivial matters such as failures in air-conditioning. 

From underwater, I remain, 

Yours faithfully,  

HayGirl | Mermaid Liaison

Shortly after:

HARASSED COLLEAGUE (despite harassed state): You’re ridiculous. What does a mermaid liaison do anyway?

Types speedily in offence:

Harassed Colleague,

A mermaid liaison saves Oceania from great peril. Yours in all things aquatic,

HayGirl | Mermaid Liaison, Bachelor of Mermaid Relations

Strangely enough, no reply. Except for another blast, much later:

HARASSED COLLEAGUE: If it doesn’t rain it pours, well actually it is the air conditioner leaking onto the lift that has caused it to malfunction.

I find this equally hysterical and promptly respond in accordance with my new found profession:

Dear Harassed Colleague,

Due to my aquatic expertise in all things water related, may I proffer some advice?

It is critical in furthering good relations with merpeople that we now feature a land based facility where meeting can be conducted. Such a facility must be “mer-friendly”, that is, underwater.

 I urge you therefore to not stopper the leak, rather allow it to continue and fill the HayOffice with water. 

It will be a large facility and will come to resemble an aquarium over time. It will be known as The Consulate of The High Sea.

You will rightly be commended in due course for your major contribution to bridging the gap between people of the Land and Sea.

Thanks kindly,

HayGirl | Mermaid Liaison

PS: Below is an image I think may make a good logo – what do you think?

Dear HayGirl,

What can I say! You read too much or watch too much TV and have an incredible imagination.

Kind regards,

Harassed Colleague.

Much more to come on HayGirl and her merry tribe of merpeople,

HG, ML, B.MRs.
