Virtual Office Tuesday 21st July

[byslantedlight]

Not been out on the hacktrack yet - I'll start work first today - so maybe some lads at work, for motivation... They're investigating something on a film set, where one of the cast is the daughter of a politician and has been threatened, but is adamant that she's not going to give up her relatively minor part. The lads have to protect her and find out what's up... Well, maybe one day I'll write it properly. *g*

It's Only a Beautiful Picture - that's another ep I like, even though the lads aren't together as much as I'd prefer. Wandering the London streets together though, and then they're out of ordinary context again - off undercover, in the deepest countryside, with each other the only contact... a sugar-beet salesman and a rebellious London cop. Now there's an AU... *g* Maybe I'll watch the ep tonight - if I get on and...

...work. I didn't finish until about half-ten last night, because I broke off in the middle for a few hours, and then made one of my Riverford recipes (only nice if you like mushrooms, which I don't much), and... well, it turns out I'm still rubbish with Job 1. It's weird - I had to sit in one place for Job 2 as well - maybe it's more that Job 2 involves contact with other people, but Job 1 is just plonked here on my lonesome, with no one to distract/interest me... But I shall try again today - and this time do the longer document first.

Oh, I like that Ep, too, so much!
The end, with Doyle threatening to blow the plane up and laughing at Bodie being led off by the Police, LOVE!

I was in the virtual office for an hour today, still can't make myself do the dreaded part, which involves making phonecalls.
Today's excuse: Mr. Maus is sickly and at home. Can't bear to be overheard talking on the phone awkwardly.

Good luck with your work!
Hopefully the weather at your place is acceptable?

It's a good ep, isn't it! *g* And yes - Doyle at the end, all scruff and leather jacket and fire, and Bodie in handcuffs, and Doyle just so amused... *vbg*

Eep for dreaded phone calls... though I quite agree with you that you don't want people hearing you dealing with that sort of thing. It needs privacy! *g*

I'm now having a rubbish-with-work morning, and am trying to tell myself that it's okay to have a pottering-morning, that's what working at home should be able to allow... except that really I must work. It doesn't help that instead of the forecast rain all week, it's gloriously blue-skied and breezy and warm, which would be fab weather for going off out somewhere... oh, I want a holiday! How's your weather over there? Still roasting? (Hey - maybe we're getting your roasting-weather now!)

Ooh - just distracted by weird little jumpy-creatures on my desk... where did they blow in from? They look like teeny tiny slater-bugs (woodlice) with really long antennae - and they jump rather suddenly and impressively... but they're tiny tiny...
