so long, farewell

I couldn't get into work today because the greenies had dumped a truckload of coal on the front steps. Normally I'd be all 'bravo, sir' (unfortunately siding with the greenies rather than my assigned masters, alas, in most matters) but this morning all I wanted to do was stagger in and slump in front of a nice hot cup of tea. To be so thoroughly thwarted, well, I wasn't that thwarted, went round the back and asked one of the nice loading dock guys to let me in, but still. I wasn't awake enough to fully appreciate the hijinks, which I think is what annoyed me. That and the minor yet essential delay between getting off the bus and sitting down to a nice hot cup of tea. Brave are those who stand between me and my first cup of tea in the morning.
