Settling in with the weather
It’s cold, so cold in my new office that I’m hoping the cool welcome is more to do with a broken radiator than a reflection on my new colleague’s welcome. Saying that, I’ve managed to strike a bit of a deal. I don’t have to traipse into the building too often, just often enough not to be forgotten.
This is just as well given the current weather conditions. There are all sorts of worries about getting snowed in, snowed out, iced in, iced out, what are the skies going to throw at us next?. Even my Mum phoned and said “That jobs not worth it, you know. Be careful on those icy roads. I’ve heard all sorts of things about young drivers getting killed on the roads. They don’t wear their seat belts, you know, and around a third of them drive differently when they have friends in the car.”
“And do you know what, one in 10 admit that they wouldn’t have awarded themselves a license when they passed their test. The roads just aren’t safe Fifi.”
“Don’t worry Mum, it’s fine, I’m one of the 23% who flirted with my examiner to encourage him to pass me. It’s OK though cos I’m new here so won’t have any friends to distract me for a while.”
Now I’m looking out of the window starting to worry about getting home. Is my tank full? I don’t mean fish tank, but the one in the car. Think I might just need to pop out now and visit the garage, might even see if they have any spades and emergency flasks.
