We\u2019ll be sad to see him go, but we wish him well for his future venture and we totally understand his reasons for making this huge change to his life as he\u2019s been offered a unique opportunity that he simply couldn\u2019t refuse.<br \/>\nDes has always been the caring type, and so next week he will be travelling to Finland to help run a porcupine sanctuary. Des has always had a soft spot for porcupines so this really comes as no surprise. His desk is covered in cuddly porcupine toys and porcupine ornaments. A desk that I\u2019m eyeing up for myself actually. Des has always had the best seat in the office, the comfiest chair and I\u2019m going to pounce on it as soon as he\u2019s left the building and I\u2019ll fight anyone who tries to stop me.\u00a0 I deserve this.<\/p>\n<p>With this news coming so suddenly, we haven\u2019t even had time to put together a farewell party, so we\u2019ll be spending this afternoon making him an origami carriage clock and writing a hasty speech about how much we\u2019re going to miss him. Yes, we\u2019ll miss him demanding we make him a cup of coffee first thing in the morning, and all that constant nagging. But our loss is the porcupine\u2019s gain.<\/p>\n<p>Des issued us with the following statement earlier today\u2026<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI\u2019m sick of the sight of the lot of you, we\u2019ve all been stuck in this office together for decades now and I want to be free to run wild in the hills of Finland and cuddle the porcupines. License plates just aren\u2019t spiky enough for me these days so I\u2019m giving it all up.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This has come rather out of the blue, we certainly weren\u2019t expecting our Director Des to announce his retirement today!
