I'm not sure if I'm supposed to mention this, but HRH the Duke of York, Prince Andrew will be visiting work tomorrow. He's appearing in his role as UK trade ambassador to celebrate E--'s opening of a rental branch in Belfast, Northern Ireland. This puts E-- branches in all the countries of the United Kingdom. But you don't care about that. You care about all the craziness that accompanies His Royal Highness's visit. For example, the Prince, as we're all calling him at work, doesn't do revolving doors. This shouldn't be a big deal, as the revolving door in the front of the main building is flanked by two swinging doors. However, the Prince doesn't enter buildings through "side entrances." So the revolving door is being removed so the Prince can get into the building. Also, the Prince doesn't do stairs, so a large ramp is being constructed so he can climb the three steps to the make-shift stage in building 2's multi-purpose room. Also, new carpets are being installed all over the place, furniture is being replaced, and the cafeteria is closing early tomorrow; all for the Prince's visit. Sadly, while all the corporate employees have been given permission to attend the Prince's visit, we have been informed that he are not allowed to give the Prince any gifts. Fortunately, I've not yet met anyone upset by this last rule.
