To ask if you would have liked to have taken my place today?

[PedantPending]

Up at 05:30 CET, in the office at 07:00, did get lunch through judicious planning, but earlier than I would have liked.
7 hours of telephone conferences. Left office to find that some idiot had scraped my car, badly. No note, nothing.
Consumed a lot of gin.
This is not a life!

Yes. But only in gin related activities.

Seconded.

Only the gin related part. Will tomorrow be any easier?

I wish I had a job. So yes.

I've been awake since 2.37 worrying about my job so maybe.

I'd skip the gin though as I think it's alcohol that makes me wake up.

You know this is going to turn into Ripping Yarns, right?

it doesn't sound too bad - apart from the car. for your hangover

No hangover.
Going in later today as the first meeting isn't until 09:30 :-)
(and I want to walk about the car park looking for evidence).

Apart from the car and the gin (suggest wine as a replacement) doesnt sound that bad a day. I had a fire drill in middle of redressing a patients ulcers on monday which was fun as i had to get said patient outside but protect their wounds and modestly. Put us all behind the rest of the day. Wouldn't change my job for the world though as i get to meet some very interesting people and make a huge difference to them (i hope).

Sorry not Ripping Yarns, it was Monty Python. Was it really so long ago?

Sounds like a shit day to me.

Also Sounds like you work on the continent. I always dread going to Europe to work (usually Brussels or Vienna for me) because they all start so bloody early in the morning and constantly make digs about how the Brits work half days because they don't start until 9am. Still the office coffee is excellent and I get to eat out on expenses so not all bad
