As I push away my plate after my second helping of tuna pasta bake (an absolutely marvellous creation if I say so myself) and The Big Bang Theory credits roll, I reflect on the day we've had. It wasn't the easiest, but it was rather fun.
We showed up to our morning school in plenty of time, we were relaxed and ready for a nice day. However, t'was not to be. Alarm bells were raised when Joe did not return from his traditional introduction for 20 minutes. On his return, he briefly explained that due to a diary error on the school's part we were not expected until next week. As such, they didn't want us there. Now in some companies this may have meant a morning off for us, but M&M aren't that lazy. We were being paid, and by hook or by crook we would perform for it! Long story short, they found a school nearby who were happy to have us, albeit through two gates which required key fobs (which we had one of between four of us) and in an incredibly small hall.
I respect M&M for that. They could easily have swindled us on pay (like some people I've worked for, who shall remain nameless), but instead we were able to provide a joyous surprise to a group of children and teachers alike. That's what this job is all about, and that's why I'm increasingly proud to be a part of it.
