What Ego?

Well, I guess I needed a phone call like this today to keep my feet on the ground - especially after returning this morning from a tour of the country and three successful mediations under my belt.

At 4.41pm a lawyer rang to ask me if I was available for a mediation on 14 August but quickly went on to say that he 'hoped not' - as while his corporate client wished to appoint me and had instructed him to telephone, he had a strong preference for someone else!
