Au revoir to London colleagues.

Last day at London office now behind and ended the day with an amazing send off!
I have never had a song written about me before, and now had live rap performance about ME ;) Gosh!!!
Thanks to Hubert for writing and performing the song - loved it as did the crowd! And thank you for the wine, champagne, kir royals, and everything else we managed to drink down!
















Here is the song one more time - enjoy!


Not so long ago - in Finland
A young boy, a Finn Finn
Had dreams of Tin Tin
Yeah, wants to make like Tin Tin


Came to the UK to study
Doesn't like his hands to get muddy
So works in media is it for the money
Or cuz every day is sunny.
Funny.


In the Nordic Team to begin
Jani had Nokia sales to win
After Marco and Brian and Carlos too
Good Time but needed something new.
New.
Crew.
New.
You.


Joined the team in SalesOps
Not just here as mere props
Create workflows and make them betta
Keep Denise happy or get the letta


He helps the Biz to make the sale
He don't just hide behind email
But we got policies we gotta follow
Or the admin burden makes it hollow


So he goes to offices on the continent
Sometimes Sheffield he's been sent
Chalkin up BA Airmiles
Workin the upgrades with his smiles
Yeah.
Miles.
Smiles.


And there's life on the fourth floor
Ain't no place if you're a bore
Jani's got a specialty
Rolls it out at afternoon tea


Remember the smoked reindeer
Drink it with bubbly, not beer, dear.
How do you say scone, scawn
Ask Lesley, rhymes with John.
Scawn.
John.


We know Jani likes to dine well
Wonderful restaurants cast their spell
But if standards are not up to par
He'll write tha letter to lose their star


This isn't just a hair in my spaghetti
It's an M&S hair. And I work at Getty
Do you know who I am, ma'am?
Don't treat my email like SPAM!
Damn.


He wears uniform it's very bright.
But the cycle shorts - in the wrong light.
Ouch. Let's not go there.
HR can hear this, gotta beware.


We know he likes to bowl
With a drink and lotsa soul.
And he's got the passion for fashion
Money on clothes happily splashin.


But travel is truly his calling
And he's got an offer that's real appalling
He is gonna make like Phileas Fogg
And leave us here in London smog


Jani is off to APAC
On the plane don't get hijack
First to Singapore to meet Corinne
Work the floor, make things keen


Then Hong Kong and Tokyo too
Down to Sydney and the big blue
Plenty of places in between
Lotsa sights to be seen.


The colour of envy that is green
We're not jealous cuz Jani is clean
And he will do a job that's good
That's why he was chosen from the hood


Congrats Jani do good work
This job a helluva perk
When you come down from your cloud
We know you'll make us all proud.
