He then comes in and ambushes us by chirping for attention, which results in an absent minded hand being lowered to cat height to provide fuss, followed by cries of anguish as it meets sodden fur.
He also enjoys being toweled off vigorously before going back out in it again...

Deep joy.
And if you think a wet hen gets a bit irritated, just imagine what a wet parrot is like.

Originally posted by westtester View PostFirst week, I find out that contractors can't use the company car park so have to endure a trip in on the shuttle bus or a 25 min walk from some dodgy town centre car park.
Originally posted by westtester View PostSecond week, I find out that the 'flexible hours' referred to in the interview mean core hours of 10-12 and 2-4, so no early departure is permitted on a Friday. This makes me even more fed up.
Originally posted by westtester View PostThird week, a gaggle of Bobs move in the office and I'm railed by a chorus of coughs, snorts and sniffles as they adjust to our climate and/or the air conditioning. As someone who struggles with misophonia, this has set my teeth well and truly on edge.
Every instinct is telling me to walk but I'm trying to keep my professional head on and just endure until the end date.

Which explains why it's even quieter than usual.
It's the long dark teatime of the soul all the way to September.
