You do have to be mad to work here. It doesn't help.

One of my colleagues appears to be trying to insert a pint glass full of oranges into the outlet pipe of the new airconditioning unit.

It's been a funny day, what with the exploding coffee jar and everything.

This is wrong. Because, obviously, they should be inserting into the inlet pipe. For the rush of pure oranges.

Exploding coffee jar - we had an Al Qaeda attack in the common room when I wasn't looking?

No. Just Will demonstrating that coffee jars have weak points too, and can shatter quite impressively if dropped from a very small height.

So, Will bled, [livejournal.com profile] pm215 (barefoot) got neatly confined to the kitchen corner, [livejournal.com profile] beckyl fetched a dustpan, Jesper and I picked up glass, we cleared up the kitchen... Will got himself patched up and hoovered the leftover glass from the carpet. And the SoulCalibur bunnies never batted an eyelid :)

We were too busy capitalising on Will's absence by stealing extra rounds !

Oh, adn as I was leaving I observed someone doing something 'suspicious' involving the roof of the bike shed. It was odd enough that I reveresed back into the car park, and was about to accost the strange person half hanging from the roof of them, when I observed that it was our rather tall sysadmin. So I just waved happily and drove off. No doubt he was hanging by his fingertips after a ladder had been mysteriously abducted by aliens or somesuch, so I shall expect a visit from him in grump-mode tomorrow.

But said Admin was on holiday on Thursday.

Something is amiss.
