i have finally finished photocopying.

and there was much rejoicing.

i still have TB’s (The Boss) copy to collate, but tomorrow i can *finally* launch an attack on the enormous stacks of my own work which have built up over the last week (in between answering plaintive cries of “mrs hardly, i need x decision by commissioner x”, “mrs hardly, can you find me the transcript of x” … oh wait, that *is* part of my job! – the part which i actually enjoy).

i told TB he needed to stop punishing me for being competent. he fell about laughing until he cried.
