queen of the office

School holidays have kicked in – so the office of any organisation which exists to resource teachers and students is naturally more quiet than usual.
Lots of staff take the opportunity to have holidays – my boss is away overseas and other staff members are also away today. Normally the phones are buzzing at this time of the day (just before school starts) but today – blissful quiet. I can enjoy my morning cup o’ porridge (tres daggy, but it’s winter and cold outside, OK?) and cup o’ tea in peace. I can put any CD that I like on and play it at whatever volume I choose. I can admire my new cover for our magazine which I’ve just finished and very much like the look of. I can fix poor grammar (see previous sentence) or not (see also previous sentence).
There’s a whole list of things I need to do, but for the time being – I’m queen of the office.
