Mort, changed keyboards now.  Last time that happened there was a piece of toast wedged under the Delete key  Cheesy  I turned it upside down and gave it a good shaking which made it worse!

So Tuesday, when I was not at all well, and she was going to the postbox I asked her to take something up for me.  I received a basilisk stare.  Never mind, said I, you can take it tomorrow!

I really thought she would enjoying working with Steve but obviously she only enjoys leaning over his desk and showing her cleavage and making suggestive remarks anything like hard work is obviously not flirtatious enough for her.

And, she was the only one who didn't ask how I was, never even bluddy said Good Morning to me as I staggered through the door.  Grrr!!

In that case I now cast the Broken Fingernail spell and the Bad Hair Day spell. To last until she starts behaving in a fittingly contrite manner Angry  More seriously, is she senior to you? Not that it matters I suppose, the kind of behaviour she displays in just unacceptable whatever her status.

Mort, we are not in a seniority scenario here, it's not like when I was at the BBC and everyone was graded.  No, I am the Senior I guess in that I work for a Consultant and an (admittedly, Junior Partner).  She just works for the Property Manager and churns out property brochures and a few letters.  We churn out Income Tax Valuations, Valuations for Lending Purposes, Farm Appraisals, Arbitration Disputes, Landlord and Tenant Rights, Farm Business Tenancies.  You know, nothing important.

She, at 45 years old, likes to be called Barbie.  In fact she looks like Judy (and I don't mean as in the Cary Grant phrase "Judy, Judy, Judy", but Judy out of Punch & Judy)  She just thinks she is God's Gift to men and, I don't know why, has them wrapped around her little talon.  She's already caused one person to leave.

Oh goodness, that is enough cattiness on my part.  I must attend to my vegetables.

About 4.30 today I went downstairs and said to Little Miss Talons, "When you take your post will you be so kind as to drop this Amazon dvd into the box?"  To which she replied "Just put it in the pile".  "Thank you very much" I said "I don't want to walk too far having nearly conked out in Marks & Sparks at lunch time"

As I turned the corner, out of sight but not out of earshot I heard her bang down her mug of tea and sigh heavily and dramatically

I bet she drops the dvd down the nearest drain  Angry

I am at a complete loss how me taking three days off work on the sick has brought all this about  Huh  Again, not spoken two words to me.  Has she discovered working for Steve temporarily is not the bed of roses she thought it might be?

Oh Blimey, it's Matron Morticia again (ducks behind the sofa!)  Yes, I did Mort.  Now I know you are only doing this because you love to wear that Nurse's uniform  Cheesy 

It was alright, I didn't fall into the salad display or even the 3 for £5 Christmas goodies but it took a hell of an effort to stay upright and make it the two minutes back to the office.

Ooh a wonderful thought has just struck me Anna!  Feeling wobbly and dizzy?  Are you feeling a bit uncle Dick in the mornings?  Could this mean the patter of tiny feet?

My watch is gaining 10 minutes every hour... Sad I didn't mind so much when it was gaining 10 minutes a day!

Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.
