Friday at last
Oct. 6th, 2006 09:19 amYesterday my department decided to have a lunch/afternoon thing out to celebrate how fantastic we are. We toddled into London and had a fairly decent meal. The slight problem was that the organisers decided to do a 'fun' activity afterwards.
A treasure hunt around London. Hmmm.
It probably would have been fine if it hadn't been raining continuously all day. Except it was, so I ended up fairly damp and miserable. I managed to scarper reasonably early to get the train back to the office to pick up my car, but still didn't get home until after 7pm. Feeling aching and totally exhausted. Unfortunately, this means that I have done no packing at all. I did manage to write lists, though.
So all my packing has to be done this evening and I'm really hoping that I can get out of work early enough. I'm also using my cane today, which is not precisely fun. This building definitely isn't designed for it. I just popped downstairs to get a cup of tea and needed three attemps to get back into my office. The doors are key-carded and they kept re-locking themselves by the time I had a hand free (between stick, tea and card) to actually open them. Grrrrr.
Still, this time tomorrow I'll be in the airport safely checked in waiting for my gate :-) And this time on Sunday I will hopefully be curled up asleep at my aunt's house. Woo! Twenty-four hours to go until I depart for Canada!
There are dozens of things that I haven't had time to finish (fannish, workish and personalish), but I'll just have to forget about them and enjoy my break :-) Is it time to go home yet?
