The Day The Office Blew Up....

.....okay, not literally blew up, but it may as well have!

So as you all have read, I am currently working on a show in the West End and most nights I don't get out of the theatre (and bar...) 'til gone midnight so coming into work is usually a big struggle.

When I finally managed to get to work (the traffic was appalling, what should have taken 1 1/2 hours took a grand total of 3 1/2) I was stressing out about being late, the trains also didn't help my nerves as they decided to stop for a good 10 mins per station....there is no need for that TFL, humpf--- I had a LOT to catch up on so ran into the office and WHACK, straight into a delegate. Good start, I thought to myself as I spoke my apologise, turned around and there he was, Arm straight out in front of him, coffee cup in hand and the entirety of his drink down his trousers and up the wall. Bollocks. Really good start Miss Gardner!!

Having cleared up the now slightly brown tinted wall and offered a towel to the lovely coffee stained gentlemen, I got back to work. Sat down at my desk and took a few moments to myself before cracking on. Half an hour or so later, I turn around to see my colleague stood in the doorway of the office soaked from head to toe.

We all burst into absolute hysterics, and when we finally managed to get out of him what the problem was, he said "Just come and look..." We all walk into the bathroom to a swimming pool, not a floor. In our office we have automatic taps and the central one decided it didn't want to turn off today so my colleague (lets call him D), D tried to fix the problem by unscrewing the tap. It spurted all up the walls and into his face hence the dripping man in our office. We grabbed towels and mopped the place up laughing the entire time (well, D wasn't but I certainly found it hilarious). I then decided to give the tap a look over....And fixed it within seconds....Who knew I was a plumber?! The look on D's face was something I couldn't possibly describe to you.

So, having tidied everything up, we settled down yet again to do more work. But as most of you can agree, things tend to happen in threes. Low and behold, the 3rd was to shortly follow in the form of forks.... It seems people steal forks from this place. Weird. I know.

Anyway, it never seems to be a dull day here and things go wrong on the daily. Good job we can all laugh about it hey?

Until next time, Ta-Ra
