I set all seven alarms and I was awake for 8, but slept through the news bulletin. (I'd dozed for a while before, failing to remember the phrase "Divorced, Beheaded, Died, Divorced, Beheaded, Survived.”) I was up shortly afterwards and left the house at 9.30am. After checking in with the secretaries I went to the library to get book and film of **i***o* *o** (which I have both of somewhere) for research purposes for the New Novel.
It turns out that I'm the boss man today and tomorrow, so I'm the Acting Acting HoD. I shall use my powers for good. So far this has involved my moving my computer from one side of the desk to the other (more difficult than you'd imagine) and rotating a filing cabinet. The good news is I'm going to inherit a filing cabinet with bottoms to its draws.
Filing may follow. Or not.
I've got a new computer and may be getting a new monitor. Huzzah.
I need an extension lead for my tea and coffee facilities. Wilkos here i come - although I only need another metre.
So far my power has extended to inquiring whether I couldn't just shut the department down for two days, as a fire risk, say. The secretaries seem keen.
