M called - P's wife - full of apology. The story? P had had a fling with some girl before Christmas and M thought it had all started up again. Apparently, P convinced her that he could never fancy me. Well, there's a compliment, isn't it? Anyway, it's OK if I work with P. Well, thanks very much, Mandy. I managed not to spit in her eye, because I need the job.

P called again later and I'll be working tomorrow as usual.
