The other day at work I received a phone call for a workmate who was away on leave.
The caller said "I really need to talk to her."
"She's not here", I said.
"Can you call her?" She asked in a really whingey voice that sounded like she was some sort of whinge bag that goes to Chicken Treat.
"She's on leave" I say. And then I add some latin to drive the point home "She's persona non grata".
I'm not sure why I did this. I thought it just fit. A quick search of wikipedia tells me that persona non grata means "an unwelcome person". Yeah that's what I meant. An unwelcome person. I got non gratitude from the persona on the other side of the phone though. Obviously not a person of the book like me.
