Penny Black’s Social Diary: Guidewire’s Lasso and Markerstudy balls

As a keen star spotter, I understand how perturbing Guidewire’s Laura Drabik encounter with Jason Sudeikis at the technology provider’s Nashville conference must have been.

“I actually bustled past him, missing the photo op,” she shared on LinkedIn. “He called me back to ensure the moment was captured… laughing jovially so I wasn’t embarrassed.”

When one encounters Ted Lasso, you don’t expect him to have to lasso you for a photograph. Typically, it should be the other way round. Thumbs down for Laura for failing to spot every star in her stratosphere.

Does anyone really like eating canapes at parties?

I am so over hors d’oeuvres it isn’t even funny.

A round of applause for Markerstudy bosses, who rather than rolling out tiny nibbles at their pre-Christmas party for journalists pushed out plenty of boxes of pizzas.

Five stars.
