Day 3: April 10

11/04/2008 by April First.

Ms Felixstowe from French brought into the office a collection of items that appear (according to Mrs Marchmount) once to have been a car alarm. Ms Felixstowe said that she found it outside and felt it could not be left there. She declined to inform us where she thought we should put it.

A vigorous debate ensued.

I typed up a message for all staff that the office is not an appropriate area for depositing books, rubbish, coats, plastic sacks, old boxes, unwashed coffee cups, newspapers, boxes of exercise books, and last week’s Private Eye (although I’ll make an exception for this last item).

After discussion it was decided that we should print off some “Toxic Waste” labels and stick them on all items left in the office. These items will then be pushed into the corridor so that everyone approaching the head’s office will fall over them.

Mrs Marchmount claimed such an approach was childish, but then she tripped over a box that had contained (according to the label) “biological interactive whiteboard software” and I think she may change her mind.

At 2.30pm Blinky Allthorpe crashed into the office. She was hot, flustered and decidedly bothered.

Eventually she told us the horrific story. She had heard the bird again. And Charlie Carfor had heard it too. I made her a cup of tea.

We decided that such issues were best left until a Friday.
