Office Update

[millionreasons]

#1 My office colleage, who is useful insofar as she gives me sweets and can predict when a storm is comig (I'd like to say she lies down on our delightful grey office carpet, but really she just gets a headache), is not here today so I don't know if I'm gonna need a coat on the way home or not. Needless to say, I've switched her phone off.

#2 I just received an email from my boss, the Deputy Headteacher, spelling separate as seperate. Badd speling demoralises me, so I think I'm going to spend the rest of the day finding split infinitives on the internet.

#3 I planted some flower seeds in a little pot to put on my office windowsill and today I noticed a courgette seedling growing in it. Curious.

#4 I'm even starting to bore myself now.

Ahhh! I have a ticker on my screen showing Notts' latest cricket score. If they are playing at home, and it is not obviously time for tea or lunch, the score keeps ticking over unless they go off for bad light or rain ... in which case I can confidently predict rain over Long Eaton with astounding accuracy. If the weather is coming from town.

Durham currently 209 for 3. Set fair.

How is that any use to me whatsoever?

Work out the cricket ground nearest you that the weather comes to you from, then watch the score to tell you when it is raining there. Your colleague's weather predicting skills become instantly redundant as you predict even the lightest shower or merest darkening of the sky, with 100% accuracy.

Thank you. Can you give me sweeties now as well?

No. First we're going to learn a little about sucking eggs. Then you can maybe have a - ONE! - Myrrh lozenge.

my boss is fond of (saying and) typing "a mute point" and enjoys the random placement of apostrophes. i despair.

Maybe you should ask him/her to make many more silent points.

heh. it just makes me realise those endless hours i spent in primary school studying spelling lists etc were wasted; my mum was wrong, it doesn't actually matter at all.

It matters to one's pride.
