Woah! Roscoe

So I get to work this morning at my usual time, and I’m the first one here.

This happens very occasionally, I do normally arrive early after all. So I unlock, open the curtains, stock the printer and empty the dishwasher, make a coffee, start up the computer and send some emails. Half an hour passes and STILL I’m alone in this place.

I start to get worried.

The first thing I consider is the possibility it’s not Friday at all. But after checking the date a thousand times in a thousand places I know it truly is. The next consideration is…is it Easter already? But again I’m wrong.

Then I start to get really worried, is there an exciting delicious staff breakfast somewhere this morning, that I’m totally not invited too??? How could they! But it was always my job to organise these things, so surely there hasn’t been an arrangement without me…surely…

Or maybe, there’s been some kind of chemical contamination in the building and they phoned everyone to tell them to stay away..but they forgot to phone me? Maybe I’m going to die of poisoning now or something. Maybe I’m starting to feel a little faint, maybe I should be on my way out the freaking door and heading off to some crazed emergency department.

Then Toni walked in the door. WHAT A RELIEF.

All my fears were washing away as Toni started walking past my desk into the office. Then she faltered. Turned to face me.. and said “Are you the only one here???” “Is it Saturday??”
