Amphibious Reserve

My plan for today was not to keep sitting at my desk.  After every phone call I would make a 5 minute Panther-Pause and then go back to see what calls & emails & instachat messages I'd missed.  I also blocked out a lunch break every day in my calendar.

And I still spent the majority of the day on the phone.

And I nearly gave up at a quarter to 3. But when I got back from my last Panther-Pause I couldn't help just helping one more customer.

Then off out for a walk with my Kumpel, followed by an early schnitzel tea (in my house when I was a kid the evening meal was always called "tea" none of this posh "dinner" nonsense).

And during our meal there was only once table in the restaurant that was constantly bothered by a wasp.  Guess which one. This always happens.  You might think that it is impossible that wasps will ALWAYS arrive at my place first.  But it ALWAYS happens.  And I don't mean it just flies past - it will always land on my glass, it will always fly around my head.  And given that I absolutely hate wasps, it ruins every meal in summer.

And if anyone feels like saying "Don't let it bother you" - Just Don't.  Right up there with "calm down" as advice that doesn't help and totally misunderstands the situation.
