It all makes work for the working woman to do.
I crawled into the office at the crack of dawn today (to try and avoid long queues on the M25) in order to get a direct LAN connection and thus fix my laptop. Sadly my laptop refused to see any LAN either. I had to involve the Help(less) Desk - which confounded all expectations by demonstrating endless patience and helping me fix it.
Later in the morning when all normal people had arrived in the office, looking like they had spent the appropriate amount of time in preparation to come into work, I was regretting leaving the house in the dark and in such haste. Especially at lunchtime, when a complete stranger said to me conversationally: "Isn't it nice that we can all come into work in casual dress now?" - which was clearly code for:"My God, you look terrible! - didn't you even comb your hair?"
