Morning All
I arrived at work this morning at 7.45 and 5 minutes later, having changed from cycling to work clothes, I walked towards the coffee room, only to see a Professorial colleague and fellow member of the department who shall remain anonymous, struggling to open up his office, ready for the day's work ahead. I gave him a slightly puzzled look as I said "Morning" to which he mumbled his reciprocal reply, followed shortly after by "My key won't work for some reason." And then - and I'd already begun laughing inside at this point - he added, "Oh, damn. This isn't my office, it's Ed's. I'm on the wrong floor!" It's heartening to know that even world-renowned Professors do daft things like this from time to time. Nice one, Neil!
I can't talk of course - I once put an electric plastic kettle on a gas ring! I've never heard my mother shout so loudly!
Well, busy day ahead today - finishing off my part of a proposal my mate David from Hull Uni and I are writing. If it's funded, David says it will be his last project before retirement. It would be nice to have the honour of working with him at the end of his service. Also, must remember to get my dad a birthday card and send it. I'll stick a cheque in and a home-made bike voucher since he spends most of his money on bikes, even as a 73 year old!
