One way to the UK?

I made scones last night for the house – they turned out pretty good (Em’s recipe from ASH) and so we had a nice dessert. But apart from that Mara and I are trying not to be lil house-wifey people in the share house as once you do something once (ie clean the toilet and shower) the guys thing we’ll do it all the time now!

So work is going pretty well already this week – of sorts anyway! Yesterday the computers went down again, from about 09:30 – 12:45 so we all had a break from doing hard work. Only the lucky people who had saved documents to their desktop could continue working….. of course I hadn’t thought of that, so the only options were internet time and lunch :o)

Computers are all fixed now though, so no slacking off for anyone! I’m on my cup-of-tea-break right now so I’m all clear. Had to post though, I’m sure working in banks etc is still a male-orientated role! ODA and another company are ‘tenants’ through Barclay’s Bank, and us tenants use the one row of 6 ‘lift banks’. There’s not many females on my floor, and the female toilets are unusually quiet, especially compared to the ones at ASH back home (apart from the cleaning lady who always seems to be in the ones here!) and then this morning, in a lift of 16 people – I was the only female in there! Squished in amongst tall men in their suits… would have been ok if some were young-ish and good looking, but no.

Oh and about those lifts – they go so quickly! You’re at the top floor before you even know it – apart from the fact that on ascent and descent you need to hold your nose and blow (ie pressurise your ears)!
