Corridor shenanigans

Haven't given you an update of the recent office warfare - it's been getting chilly round these corridor parts and it ain't down to the air-conditioning...

As O is leaving for India (to meet our sub-contractors - yep, I give them another year and they'll be taking over most of the jobs in this place, including mine) in a couple of weeks, and then from there continues to Thailand for a holiday, her tasks were divided amongst the other corridor inmates. Not to their liking, I'm afraid. Now they'll have to stay on after 4pm and put in a full working day. Quite how O manages to get through her workload, god only knows...(could be something to do with those mini-vodka bottles scattered on the floor...) and her salary is still lower than these guys...Since being given some of O's tasks (on Thursday), one of the inmates has still to make it to the office - she suddenly came over all sweaty and feverish, like you do...

Me, I'm going to miss young O, especially our occasional mid-afternoon beers, but I'm making plans for my own little trip to the East (heaven forbid, without mrs. anglosaxy!), more of which you'll hear about when the t's are crossed and i's are dotted.
