# Monday morning, and
I have to go and get here an hour early, don't I ? I am, unashamedly, a Muppet.

On a brighter note, this was me on the way in



Less traffic than usual owing to the earliness, so not all bad :o)

# Hang on
I'll just go and check if the exhaust pipe on my car is at the front ....... nope, at the back ;o)

My car is always eager to go faster (unable to, but eager), hence the forward lean :o)

# I once spent a happy Sunday procuring things that my department couldn't afford
We had virtually the entire building's stationery supply 'procured' by the end of the day.

# Ah, procurement
the fine art of going through the skip outside the uni IT dept back entrance on a friday afternoon when they throw out the "useless" stuff.

Like 5 lots of coax network cabling that could touch the ground when hung out of my 5th floor window. Or the full-height rack-mount cabinet with the glass door that we couldn't lift to take home on the tube :o(

Those were the days
