graculusOne of the offices where I'm currently spending my time is in quite a rough estate, so much so that apparently in recent days when there was an overflowing water main, the water board peeps refused to stay in the area without a police escort.
I've never really given it much thought, as I drive a dirty and middle-aged car which doesn't have central locking, making it just that little bit harder to grab stuff off the passenger seat. My briefcase (such as it is) usually goes into the footwell that side, or behind the seat.
Anyway, I found out this morning that yesterday our new temporary manager (who started work last Monday) got robbed as she was getting out of her car at the local shops. Apparently she's now not only not coming back to this office, she's refusing to come back to the city, despite being promised alternate accommodation. *sigh* Time for round four or five of 'try and persuade [Graculus] to do stuff that really isn't in her job description'?
In other news, I've been taking antihistamines on the chance that my throat thing could be an allergic reaction to something or other and I have to say I'm feeling much better. So maybe I'll tempt the wrath of my friendslist and cancel my Friday morning doctor's appointment... ;)
