Poised

Our blissful days of boss-less limbo are going to be over. Like, any minute now. The old boss having left for Japan 2 weeks ago, we're expecting his uhm... charming successor today.

Then again, nothing can really faze me today after the arrival of a shiny new sleek black and silver computer with a flat screen monitor. Hurrah! Good-bye stiff neck from having to crane my head to the bulky monitor which used to sit on my desk off-center to the right. I keep thinking that there must be some kind of catch, it's simply too good and state-of-the-art to be true and at my disposal. I even have a DVD-drive and a USB port, yeah!

The second highlight of this morning was sending a fax to a man called Franz Schubert. I'd talked to him on the phone before and he didn't even seem remotely weary when I commented on his original name. His parents were probably overjoyed when they got a boy, rubbing their hands in anticipation of the registrar's smirk.

Lunch-break purchases: contact lense solution and potted mint (Mojito-season!).
