Now they lock us in!
Yesterday just as I was preparing to leave work early to go to teen son’s school parents evening we are delivered some bizarre news. The gate at the entrance to the underground car park is stuck in the down position, no one can go in or out. There is a definate disadvantage to working 27 miles from home and at a place pretty inaccessible by public transport (train travel involves going into London to come back out). Locals were able to arrange lifts or get the train but a group of us were stuck there for the next 3 hours. Now don’t get me wrong, I value having the time to get stuck in to work for longer, but actually it is currently not my favorite place to be. Especially when I am meant to be discussing maths and english with some teachers!
This morning saw me doing some team building with a group of dietitians, interesting, fun and worthwhile. Back at the office, I decided the underground car park wasn’t for me so parked outside and stepped out into a big puddle half way up my boots. Great fun! Plus slightly wet trousers, still at least I could leave the place by 5pm today and whats more I did!
