The person with whom I just spoke is blissfully unaware that his phone call caused me significant discomfort. Tears were shed. Try as I might, I can’t see the funny side. Although I am sure there is one.
There was of course no intent, just a casual and well meaning request from a local businessman. His call has, however given me a clear indication of just how much work I have to do in the coming months.
With a draft date of early April pencilled in for my complete transition I have around 4 months to prepare. With this time frame in mind you may be able to understand just how hard it was to learn that I am the obvious choice to play Father Christmas.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Christmas, I just don’t really want to be the first person people think of when they need a short, round, and hairy dude in a red suit.
If anyone wants me, I’ll be on the treadmill
