It's all go at the office!

Now that the boxes have departed from the floor a new obsession has gripped the staff of level 13. Suddenly the print room staff and a programmer have become ornithologists, albeit highly specialised ornithologists, but if you want to know anything about the life cycle of seagulls, my office is the place to visit.

Let me introduce you to Jillian Livingstone Seagull.


Her partner Jonathon is a highly attentive Daddy, and very efficient about bringing her food and new bits of flotsam for the nest. He is also a highly motivated guard and defender. The entire balcony surround is now white with seagull poo, and if anyone attempts to go on to the balcony he yells at them loudly and attacks. It may be some time before the balcony can be cleaned.

We have confirmation of three eggs, thanks to the programmer and a very old set of binoculars that were an Xmas gift that never made it home. Due date is 12 December.

I do so look forward to getting back to the office next Monday, I'm particularly keen to see feeding time.

I think the main point of this story is that you only go to the office on Monday's????

Normally my job is a very desirable one, just the three weeks leading into Xmas remind me of working hospo hours. Whimper.

That is AWESOME! I love any thing that brings the world to a shitty cubicle.

The only shitty cubicle at my place of employ is the one the seagulls are occupying!!

Mind you I do think it was very restrained of me to not mention that the best view is from what until recently was my office, that I so graciously gave up in the name of goodwill. The fact that there are now 3 staff in the space that once was all mine is irrelevant.

I have another "office" photo that I will try and get up tonight. It's a goodie!
