Wish you weren’t here?

I’m back, from outer space…..well Northern Europe really.

I had a lovely few days away from this mad house, thank you for asking dear reader. At not one point did the thought of Andre, CJ or Moody enter my mind, nor did I wonder how those jobs I handed over to Ginger on Friday were progressing, nor if they had discovered the banana I accidentally left in my locked cupboard. Actually, maybe I wondered a little about the banana. And I tell a lie, I thought about Andre on one occasion when we walked past a boat called ‘Gandalf’, of which I took a picture (as you can see).

I returned this morning early (not sure what happened there) and full of the joys of spring! I was missed! How did they ever cope without me before?! Never go on holiday again Nancy!! I should be so lucky. I wandered in, shouted a couple of ‘Hello’s’ around the office to which I mainly received some muffled ‘Hi….morning’s’ in reply and Moody didn’t even look up from his desk. Of course some of the normals wandered over and enquired about my break but other than that it’s like I haven’t been away. Ginger filled me in on the complete lack of anything happening in my absence which was disappointing, especially when I think of you guys sitting there in anticipation of some juicy returning blog. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but today I have very little for you. Just the way the orc-flavoured cookie crumbles sometimes.

The team-bonding bowling day which was meant to be next Wednesday has now been postponed until after Easter. I only found this out by mentioning it to Kirstie who then realised I wouldn’t have known about it not being here an’ all. Thanks. CJ has been keeping her usual hours and lost a £1 bet with Moody this morning as she claimed she would be in by 9am. She made it in for 9.15am. She is of course taking flex tomorrow due to all of those hours she’s clocked up the past 2 weeks. I have spent most of the day being her feckin’ receptionist as every time she walks away from her desk her phone rings. Most people on the end of the line sound quite harassed and as though this is the 44th time they have called to try and catch her. Tomorrow I plan to let it ring.

Saffa seems to have developed some illness or injury and has been off a lot with doctor’s appointments including this morning but no update on the love triangle situation. Moon Monkey is off again and actually on holiday next week so we hope not to see him for a while. Andre is back to being her usual quiet self so no ramblings from her today – shame it could have made the time go quicker.

All of the work I handed over on Friday didn’t get done so I had it all handed back to me this morning plus another 60 jobs from Moody. He seemed genuinely pleased to see me though, probably because of all the work he can dump back on me again. I won’t mention I’ve booked off next Tuesday as well….

Tomorrow will be another quiet Friday and we’re planning a pub lunch so maybe you’ll get some slightly inebriated blogging tomorrow afternoon to lead you into the weekend. If all else fails I can take you through my holiday snap shots….
