it’s been a while since we’ve seen odd job pete doing an odd job around the office. today he’s decided to remove the ice monster from the freezer section of the fridge.
he’s got an elaborate plan which i’m not convinced about.

here is pete a bit later with the ice:

and here with the ice-less freezer compartment (don’t look in to his eyes or you will turn to ice):

i can confirm that it takes the same amount of time for Peter to defrost the fridge as it did for me to have a conference call on the exciting topic of broadband migrations.

my office has come up with a nice idea to try to keep us awake during the day. they’ve placed some random holes in the floor.
i’m going to go to the local charity shop in a minute and buy a cheap rug to put over the top. i’ll then put some nuts in the middle of the rug.
if any wild animals come in to the office, they’ll be attacted to the nuts and will fall in to my trap. we can then cook them for our tea thus saving on sandwich costs AND keeping us safe from wild animals.
and all for the cost of a cheap charity shop rug.

i was priviledged enough to be invited to a friend’s leaving do today. lots of ex-colleagues were there including some i hadn’t seen for a number of years.
here is chris and his collection of passport photos. i thought i’d found another collector but in fact he was just a proud father:

here are some of the assembled:

and here are phil and keith. both now retired and having a great time. both of these people had a great influence on me when i started working with them 6 years ago:

john at work has found a key and is trying all the locks to see which one it fits. he’s a modern day mechanical prince looking for his cinderella.
unfortunately he’s completely failed so far, so we turn to you the reader to help us. do you recognise this key ?
if he can’t find where it belongs he’s going to have to go to the cobblers to get a new lock built. and his shoes repaired. and maybe buy a trophy and a cat identity necklace too.
