Okay you may be forgiven for thinking that it is Dith and, until now, I think it has been.
However, recently, I appear to have been suffering from attacks of Karma. Now this is not in keeping with my general belief system, but the evidence appears to be too compelling to ignore.
Firstly, there was the revenge of the photocopier. When heading for the copier one day, I became aware that a colleague was heading in the same direction. I sped up imperceptibly, okay, I ran into the copier room with the gleeful cry of one gaining the upper hand. Said machine then took great pleasure in eating my document, not once, but repeatedly. Colleague (actually boss - cringe) derived yet more joy from getting his paper copied before mine, as I was engaged in the ancient art of copier wrestling and report unmangling - activities practiced in offices the world over.
The second occurrence of cosmic justice happened today. Much to my surprise, and as a result of my placement boss screwing up the move from one project to another, I had today off. Sorry, I worked from home today - now isn't that the biggest scam ever?!? Well, in true, hard-working style I used the day to organise my paperwork in readiness for tomorrow...well, eventually. That was after having a luxurious lie in and heading off the Sainsbo's to do the weekly shop. So, where does Karma come in? It enters the picture in the form of me locking my car keys in my car. D'oh! Around an hour of my precious 'work' time wasted waiting for the nice man from the RAC. Will I ever learn...?
Knowing me, probably not!
