Worse still is the slow march back to your desk, exchanging pleasantries with people you scarcely know and all because some imbecile left the toaster on for too long. Damn them and their recently cremated slice of wholemeal bread.
There is nothing like a fire drill to separate the overtly confident and socially inept. Navigating your way through a tightly woven sea of ill-fitting suits is now an essential life skill. One misstep could see you drown in speculation and questionable attire. Avoiding the overfamiliar becomes impossible and there’s only so much stilted conversation an individual should have to endure.

That feels like a cry from the heart, Justin! I feel your pain, Brother! From the 10th to the cold outside and back up again (damned their department's toaster), I quickly learned how much time it took to get back up and found it pleasantly coincided with a cuppa at the local caf and a comfortable journey up in the lift, - later er, elevator. Just make the fire marshall aware you are not toasting inside and you're fine! Comments are closed.
