Ahhh... this was so almost me.

Every now and again at work we get requests to go outside the call of duty, and far, far beyond the usual drone of daily business development. A colleague asked me a couple of month ago if I wouldn't take a day off my usual beat and go down to one of her universities dressed in the *pictured* berry costume to be a part of some strange activity that she had planned there.

Unfortunately I had to cancel as she didn't give enough prior warning and, although the photo would argue, I do have a REAL job. Thankfully at the last minute a plucky team mate stepped into the breach!

PS. It's not me in the berry costume and I don't care if you think I'm lying.
