Today I put together a little overview of the lease settlement process, it wasn’t much fun. I distracted myself and those around me throughout the day by various means including:

Carefully unwrapping a Kit Kat and the rubbing the foil against the desk with my thumb to make it really shiny.
Disguarding paperclips on Rob’s desk so that he would have to unravel them and then bend them into new shapes. He must do this as he has OCD about it.
Rubbing an eraser on my desk and making loads of shavings.
Talking about biscuits a lot.
Discussing cheese sauce and our own methods of making it.
Talking about the availability of car parking spaces when returning to work from lunch.
Taking a picture of my breakfast and then emailing it to my team. This provoked a conversation about Marmite that was quite lengthy.

Also today I found a little notebook that I bought in Barcelona. In it various things are written.
Here are some examples:

“I called a Smart Car a little squirt for driving 20mph- sustained”
“Feet cross pollination- process of changing socks over halfway through the day”
“Idea for a song:
-Park
-Ignition off
-Key out
-Lights off
-Disembark
-Lock
-Walk”
“Sketch about dress code: Get job, great. Say, what’s dress code? Got to wear a suit? Shove the fucking job in the case. Cunts! And run out”
“I always find the first staple of the day the most satisfying”
“The Yorkie diet”
“Idea for a film: man phones the gas company and gives a fake name to put on the bills. He is subsequently arrested and a lengthy and hilarious legal process ensues”
“Mo Harris is Ray Winstone’s mother”

Tomorrow I am getting up in time to go to Gatwick airport at 7.30am so I won’t have time to do a post, nor Saturday either as I’ll be in Krakow. Normal service will resume on Sunday night.
