Tents, and tense

Hannah and Nathan are having a holiday together next month. They’re camping at a Christian music festival somewhere in Cheshire. I’m assuming they’ll be in separate tents.

Things are still a bit frosty between me and Philippa. I get the impression that she thinks that her victory over me on the tennis court gives her the right to treat me as an underling in the office. I am fighting that concept tooth-and-nail. Technically and politically, I am a different department to her so she can’t tell me what to do. I think she knows that too, but I’m the only other person in the office at the moment, so I’m in the firing line. I know she’s got more work on while Tom is off, but it’s no good taking it out on me.
I have to say though, this job was much more enjoyable when she was being nice to me.
