New Office

So I now live in Birmingham and work in Solihull. The new office will be very smart when they’ve finished building it. They’ve just put in some fancy glass doors. Wonder how long it will be before I walk into those? Answers on a postcard please…

I’ve also chosen my favourite toilet and managed not to spill any coffee at all on the new carpets. Again, I suspect that that last one is only a matter of time. Making tea at the moment is quite a good diversion anyway.

• Wander around office trying to guess where the workmen have put the kettle.
  Locate kettle.
• Try not to walk into anything or anyone while manoeuvring the kettle to the sink to fill with water
• Try not to spill water in kettle while walking back to where the kettle was.
• Flirt with workmen whilst refusing to make any of them a cuppa.
• Collect everyone’s mugs
• Label everyone’s mugs
• Carry everyone’s mugs to sink and wash.
• Re-label everyone’s mugs
• Carry mugs through to our tea and coffee stash, which is in a different room to both the sink and the kettle.
• Go and find kettle again and carry through to mugs. More flirting with workmen as you still refuse to make them drinks, and walk off with their kettle.
• Place tea bag in R’s cup and add hot water.
• Take tea bag out of R’s cup and place in M’s cup. Leave to stew.
• Make normal cuppa for D.
• Make own instant decaf coffee, which believe it or not is the drink that tastes the least like dishwater.
• Return kettle to workmen
• Ask workmen to move tools from fridge door so that I can get the milk out.
• Put milk in mugs.
• Take milk back to fridge.
• Look at all mugs. Labels have fallen off again.
• Take mugs to R, M and D. Hope they’re right.
• Collect own mug.
• Drink cold decaf coffee.
• Repeat as drawings still haven’t downloaded through the dial up internet connection.
