a note for first-timers

If it's your first time here and you're new to blogs, the first post you'll see is the most recent so that's where you should be ending, rather than starting. Otherwise, carry on...

the wanderer returns

Actually, I've not really done much in the way of wandering - not physically anyway. I have, however, found my mind wandering plenty - more often than not to a distant land some fourteen hours and twenty-three minutes away (according to the flight schedules).

Today I'm bored. I mean thoroughly, utterly, entirely, completely bored. If there was a World Championships for boredom I could at least console myself with the fact that I'd be getting in some good training at the moment in preparation for a tilt at a spot on the rostrum - but there's not. So there's not even an interesting aspect to being bored - how disappointing. *sigh*

I've been at work now for two hours and twenty-one minutes today and I've still not taken my coat off. Subconsciously, it's probably because I'm hoping I can casually sneak out when I head off downstairs to make tea or visit the restrooms (today that word will take on a new meaning - I'll be taking enormous care and attention to ensure that my hands are as clean as clean can be, even if it takes an hour before I'm satisfied), but in reality it's because apathy kicked in as soon as I arrived at my desk and I just couldn't be bothered to take the bloody thing off. Okay, I'll do so now... wait there.

That was hard work. I think I probably ought to go downstairs now and make myself a cup of tea for some respite. I'll see if anyone else wants some too - that ought to take up a wee bit more time.

I shall return...
