It's been a bit damp here of late. No, scrub that. It's been tipping down. For days. Actually,God seems to be sitting on a celestial cloud somewhere watching for me venturing out the door.
If I stayed inside, the weather stayed nice. One foot over the threshold [any threshold]and down came the deluge. Not only that but God likes to send the deluge when my feet are tucked in cute little strappy numbers. It's hard to look dignified when the hems of your trousers are slopping around like wet ears on a Basset hound and your toes are going blue. I've long believed that God has a tremendous sense of humour.
Normally, looking undignified wouldn't be too much of an issue but this week I started my new job and there's a certain expectation in the role. So, instead of making a suave and sophisticated first impression, I've spent most of my time bedraggled and dripping. Ah well.
On the up side, I've met a lot of nice people and am settling in to a very nice office. My new boss has had the place redecorated and newly furnished for my arrival. All it needs now is the nameplate on the door. [Arrives next week apparently]I'm trying to cope with the frustrations of change but I'm not a patient person. I hate having to waste/take time to set up or learn new access codes and systems etc. I want to be off and running but that's unrealistic after 4 days. Even for me!
I've had to be dragged out the building each night by His Nibs, such has been my desire to get on with things.
In the meantime, Herbert the pot plant is in position and the coffee machine is primed ready for action. I expect there'll be much to Witter about in the coming weeks so watch this space dear reader.
