It's a high tech world
Sep. 3rd, 2007 01:47 pmToday seems to be going reasonably well, considering it's a Monday and our staffing issues have reached critical nightmare status. I should be in Gloucester today and tomorrow, but can't be spared from the office. I think this is largely because if I'm here, there are at least 3 people in and it doesn't look quite so deserted. It should be better in a week or two.
But still, I've booked Paris, arranged new shiny phone goodness and been told by the most difficult to please member of staff here that he is v v glad I'm around, as I'm making things much easier. This is good. I am Queen of office. Huzzah!
Weekend was fab, with Ladytron then visits to Reading where there were unexpected as well as expected people, and we were meant to be going to the recording of the new Jerry Springer show last night, but they over-subscribed by about 100 people, so we didn't get in. Under normal circumstances, this may have resulted in being a tad narked that we had dragged ourselves from Battersea to Hammersmith, only to have to return without comedy TV watching. But these were not normal circs. Oh no.
On the way back, we saw a fine example of 21st Century firefighting. A fireman, brave and resolute, clad in his fireproof gear, advancing towards the fire...
With a bucket of water. An old, battered tin bucket. There is a photo, but it's on Nic's camera.
We can all sleep safe, kids. The Fire Brigade has a Bucket.
