Leo bought us all cakes for breakfast, so after an hour in the gym I undid all the good I’d done with a Danish. It was worth it, though. Now that the issue has closed, it’s time for catching up on meetings. One in the hour running up to lunch, and one for an hour straight after. I don’t mind so much if they can get sandwiched like that. At least that way you can get on with other things the rest of the day.

We’ve designated the first two hours after lunch tomorrow as a tidy-up session ready to move desks next weekend. I can’t wait - we’ll be upstairs in the sunshine instead of down in our dingy ground floor office, and we should even be allowed to open our blinds, which we’ve not been able to do for a couple of years.

There was minor excitement at half five when the fire alarm went off and everyone broke the rules by gathering together their coats and bags in the vague hope that it would go on so long we had to go home. Those who congregated in reception to avoid the rain and realised they were the only ones who had not catered for an extended evacuation went back in to collect their bits, which I’m sure it very much frowned upon.

It was only a drill, as it turned out, so we returned to our desks and in came an email from the cable people apologising that my complaints had fallen on deaf ears. Matters are apparently in hand.
