• Peaceful

  I'm covering helpdesk while the guys are at the Staff Summer Shindig.  I'm back sitting downstairs, in my old office: the one that I was moved out of when I had a bit of a meltdown one day.  The one that was constantly noisy, and constantly full of interruptions from the guys on helpdesk, since if they didn't know the answer, I generally did.
  
  There are four clocks in here: London, Melbourne, New York and Tokyo.  Their ticks aren't quite in synchronisation with each other.  The sound they make is a sort of Te-Ter-Tick, endlessly, round in circles.  I have always found it very soothing as noises go.  I couldn't sleep to it, not by a long chalk, but I do enjoy the sound it makes.  Because, when I could hear the clocks, it meant that my noisy colleagues were probably not there, and I could do some work.
  
  And then two calls came in.... guess I should pay a little attention.  I can't really do any of my own work at this point, but I'm in a pre-mid-summer-rush lull.  For which I am profoundly grateful.

  Anyone want to see a piccy of The Welshman?
