There’s no satisfaction to be gained from having the upper hand if no one knows it. Like the tree that falls noiselessly in the unseen forest my clever ripostes and mental parries have no value if they go unnoticed amongst the verbal traffic in the office.
Unfortunately it seems they also have no worth when I stand on the chair and shout them, my voice rising over the wave of conversations about contracts, meetings and spreadsheets.
I sit back down and return to my computer and my mug of tea and try to ignore the deafening silence in the room.
