Yesterday at work we were discussing the news that an employee had been murdered in confusing circumstances far away, and decided that the news media were unlikely to contact us about it.

Yesterday at work we were discussing the news that an employee had been murdered in confusing circumstances far away, and decided that the news media were unlikely to contact us about it.

I've just received an email from the news media asking me if i can confirm that the person murdered under confusing circumstances is one of our employees.

It's gonna be one of those mornings.

I've only three times spoken to the press about anything newsworthy, and it was a mistake all three times.

@brouhaha That's unfortunate. I've spoken to the press more times than I can remember, and it's usually a good experience

@MLE_online @brouhaha My father used to run a business building pipe organs which is unusal enough that the papers would run an article about him every few years. The reporters were always good folks and the articles were well done, but Every. Damned. Time. the headline would mention "Pipe Dream" - it's like the only joke they can think of.

well, better than "obsessed with organs" by a small margin?
