St. Georges Day
When I am working (which is every day) I am a chain-coffee drinker. As there is no time or facility at the other office for making endless cups I take a big flask with me. As I picked up the plastic bag with my case and walked in the office my white pants were stained and the floor had stained with the dripping black coffee. I checked the car and seat was also wet with the coffee. (My lovely car...sob sob). The lid probably wasn't tight enough. So it was Mrs. Mop at work first thing in the morning which made everything else late.
I needed to get back home straight from work because the carpet man was coming to fix the carpet on top of the Brand new floor tiles that those "skilled tradesmen" had ruined. I didn't want a carpet but had no choice to cover up the glue marks that came up because of the unskilled job of the skilled tradesmen.
On the way there is a Co-op Super store that sells spicy potato curlies NOT FRIED but roasted - very tasty. I got a take away pack of potato curlies with other shopping. As I bagged and kept them on side the bag fell and all my curlies went on the floor. I didn't have time to go and get another one so I frantically carried on packing other things. As I picked up the bag of apples it split from the bottom. Honest it wasn't my fault, the bag just gave in. As I saw one cashier picking up the fries and another one running after the apples I could see a dozen or so eyes looking at me saying you are NOT fit to let loose on this planet!
Got home eventually and carpet is fitted in the office after a few hiccups when I tried to shake the big mats outside. There was a cloud of dust coming out of the mats and as people passing by started to disappear in the cyclone of dust I left it for tomorrow.
The rest of the evening was incident free apart from the argument with the most annoying person in the world, bless him.
