A Follyville Christmas

Wednesday 23 December
Unpacking day. Arrive at new office to total chaos. A few computers were up and running ....... but that was all that resembled an office. Lots of loaded crates were lying around waiting to be unpacked. My personal crate, of course, wasn't among them, so I couldn't unload that yet. Our communal team crates were standing there but ..... nowhere to unpack them to. We couldn't put anything at all onto the desks as these have to be used for "hot desking", and the few shelves next to our team area appeared to have been reserved for Building Control. As the computer is the only thing working, I get on and write my blog! I reckon the sinking of the Titanic was better organised than a simple office move.

Receive first e-mail in the new office. Apparently the workmen are in today converting the gents toilets into ladies toilets! - Net result ...... no-one can actually go today. I suggest we all use the car-park which is heavily iced up and could do with a bit of de-icing treatment. This doesn't find much favour with the ladies. The good news - the drinks machine is set to "free vend". The bad news - if you want to take advantage of it you will need the bladder of a camel.
