If you want to get an idea of the elite line manager I am, I was reminded today of my time at HMRC when I threw a quiz, raised loads of money for an amazing gift and generally made loads of fuss for one of my team's 60th birthdays. I was super proud of myself, until she told me it wasn't her 60th 🤣

I am not an easily embarrassed person, but in that moment, I wanted a missile to drop on me and to be never seen again. She didn't make a fuss, but let someone know after all the commotion that she wasn't 60 until next year, and she felt guilty about the vacuum we'd all chipped in for.

All I could do was apologise, and to this day I still get random messages reminding me of it. I'll never live this one down! 🤣

So aye, if you're shit at maths like I am, do not try to figure out someone's age in your head, or you'll end up becoming a laughing stock for years to come.
