As if the imminent collapse of FIFA wasn’t enough, I have just managed to resolve an incredibly thorny and long-standing work issue which no one gave me any hope of succeeding with.

It has involved dozens of delicate phone calls, a lot of salesmanship and a good deal of careful diplomacy, but finally – finally – I have reached the promised land. This matter shall darken my desk NO MORE.

Below is some footage of me in the office this afternoon, celebrating the win.

Apologies for the bragpost, but I needed to share this joyful event with someone, and I’m playing it cool in front of my colleagues.

Anyone else got any mundane triumphs to share?
