Its an open and shut case running a business these days

I was staring at a Joan Miro scupture at the Tate Modern last Sunday when my mobile went off. It was a call from Rome. Our client needed extra artwork sent over as soon as possible. 

Not a problem, but I did want to finish my tour of the gallery first. With two children in tow, one a three year old and the other a six year old, we wouldn't be too long, given their shorter attention span at that young age.

So, it was Sunday, and Invisible Ink was open for business, even though the office was closed. Modern communications have allowed such intercourse to become an every day occurance in the working world today. No need to drive home via the office either. With a work set up at home equal to my desk at Putney, I was able to complete the artwork, slippers on and Itunes to accompany me.

It was Sunday after all. And so, within three hours of receiving the call, I emailed the necessary designs across Europe where they were safely and gratefully received. Job done. And the following day, being a Monday, we were open for business again.
