“Let me out of the cube Phil”.

“But Darren, it’s the million-pound question”.

“I can’t do it any longer Phil it’s been 8 months already and I’ve only one life left”.

“Darren, all you’ve got to do is restructure & pivot your business again to survive tier 3 lockdowns”.

“But Phil, we’ve already pivoted 3 times, and restructured our business to provide home working print technology, laptop bundles and home office supplies, we’ve nothing left to change”.

“Darren, you’re not thinking straight. You’ve still got a simplify”, shouted Phil through the cube glass.

Time stood still, beads of sweat dribbled down my face, anxiety coursed through my veins and my eyes filled with watery concern.

“Okay Phil. Simplify”.

The cube flashed, boomed out its dramatic music and filled with pyrotechnic smoke.

As the smoke cleared a TV screen appeared.

“Turn it on Darren”. Phil suggested.

The TV flickered into life, standing behind a lectern stood Boris Johnson, flanked by his chief medical advisor, and his partner in crime Matt Hancock.

“Darren” Boris began. “The simplify has brought the virus under control and the whole country can immediately move out of all restrictions forever.”

…then I woke up still in tier 3 & minus a million. Gutted!
