This meant I had to go and find a car park (with empty spaces) and walk back to the parcel office.

I am sure you have guessed by now that there was a long queue of people collecting their Christmas parcels, so I had rather a long wait.  Whilst waiting I noticed that I would need some form of identification and there was a long list of things that would be suitable, none of which I had with me.  The last one on the list was Trade Union Card, which rather surprisingly I don’t have.  I was hoping that my works pass would be OK but for some reason I was the only person that wasn’t asked for some form of ID.  Phew!

Also whilst waiting I noticed a very strange contraption on the ceiling and I wasn’t the only one to do so.  It had small red and green lights on it and the red one kept going on and off.  We decided it wasn’t a heater…

After all of that I only just made it to work on time but lots of people followed me in through the door, including one lady who had been in an even longer queue at the post office.

Now I am off for a meal out I wonder what is on the menu.  Just thinking about it has made me feel hungry.
