The Nu Media

To My Dear Friends,

In the twilight of my youth, I have come to the realisation that change does not happen; it is initiated, sometimes though a project, following the PRINCE2 methodology none the less. On other occasions, change happens through a series of haphazard fuck-ups or poorly thought through actions. This is Me sharing with you what it takes in initiate change. The focus is on what it takes to find a gentleman to take me out on a date.

After a bitterly disappointing text message that cancelled not one but two dates, I set a challenge. The challenge is to have one date arranged by the end of this month, October. Not fucking hard right? Wrong! After two weeks for fruitless attempts at getting attention though all your normal channels, I am today looking at the abstract. I begin with the situation that led to the establishment of this, Broke but not Broken.

Day 21 October 2010: Office Communicator - The of the shelf solution to every public sector departments dilemma of how to get colleagues who sit within a few metres talking to each other, about business, and strategy, and spending, business. Not today Mr Microsoft, not anymore, Office Communicator is the ‘Nu Online Date-Arranging Media. So no one in your office is going to think you are craze when send a communicator message to a random gentleman in another office of your workplace who you only first met the day before because he was down in London facilitating training that you attended with eyelashes batting. Not weird anymore. Matter of Fact – see below.

Experiment One: Ask a colleague out on a date using Office Communicator

Aim: Get a date

Method: Wait until 5pm and send message, ‘So next time your in London would you like to get together for a tipple?’

Results: Encouraging under the conditions, with an apprehensive acceptance after small banter to make it sound like a charitable offering.

Success Measures: Actually, charitable offering becoming a date. This will take more work.

The October date is therefore still to be achieved.  

With Kind Regards,
