Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

I am so glad it was only for 4 hours :P

We're now in our new office, which is bigger than our last one in the sense of length but smaller in the sense of how much storage space we have. Mostly we're working our way through boxes of stuff at the mo. Or rather, other people are. I get to loaf because hey! No lifting! :D

It was pretty painless, really, I seem to have remembered stuff ok, it's just a case of getting back into the swing of things and picking up the information that's changed.

People were pleased to see me, which was nice :)

*yawns* I am surprisingly tired though. I mean, not "OMG, must keel over and nap" tired, but I'm definitely weary. Very glad I'm doing a phased return, there's no way I'd have lasted a whole day today.

Now, I must curl up around a mug of tea *does so*

Memo to self: Next time you suspect your newly-filled-with-scalding-hot-water bottle has a leak, do NOT attempt to remove the furry cover to see for sure while still sitting on the sofa, because when it bursts, it will go ALL OVER YOU AND YOUR KEYBOARD!!

Damage list - one scalded left thumb *nurses*, one dead keyboard (further memo to self, you can never have too many spare keyboards), one soggy duvet (drying on radiator), one soggy mouse mat (successfully dried) and one rather soggy wet patch on the carpet. Oh, and this...

( The Guilty Culprit )

I was actually really glad this happened now, when I was fully dressed, in a thick jumper, t-shirt and jeans, because that absorbed a LOT of the hot water. Had I been ready for bed, I think the damage would have been way, way worse. As it is, even the thumb is feeling better just in the time it took to sort the photo out.

So now I must shop for a new hot water bottle. And possibly a new emergency keyboard :P
