Goodbye Julie
My friend and colleague Julie Adair leaves 大象传媒 Scotland this week. There was a heads-of-department meeting at Pacific Quay yesterday which closed with words of thanks for Julie's contribution over the years. I led the applause and Julie announced that she would be having farewell drinks tomorrow. I led another round of applause for that. It was louder.
Regular readers of this diary will recognise Julie as a recurring character. In fact, in her role as Head of New Media, she was the person who actually suggested I start this blog and arranged for me to use the elegantly simple software which she and her team developed for the Island Blogging project. As you can see from the photograph above, the hardware involved is not quite as sleek as you might imagine.
Actually Julie challenged me to use that photograph and now owes me five hundred pounds. She wont have trouble paying because she's off to become a high powered executive with the Disney organisation.
Of course that sounds like a Mickey Mouse job to me.
