No, after YOU....

Wednesday, 9pm

Thought for the Day - Everyone will know the same short cut to avoid the traffic as you do. At exactly the same time

Pug Status - Overcooked, because she refuses to move from the radiator

We had a team lunch at work today, at a nearby restaurant that, unbeknown to me, had a hidden danger. The main entrance was a revolving door, which presents its own set of problems. First of all there's the endless round of "After You Claude" as everyone tries to let everyone else through before they do. Then there's the whole issue of when to step into the door; do you dive in immediately after someone, sharing the compartment and appearing to be far too over-friendly with your fellow worker or do you hang back and follow in the next bay, regulating your step according to the speed that the person in front of you is pushing the door....

I went for the more polite second option, and all went well until I completely misjudged where the exit was. There were some concerned looks as I tried to walk through the curved side rather than the gap in the front, and some winces as my skull rang out off the toughened glass like Big Ben at midnight. Even more embarrassingly, I had to go round again as the person behind me gave the door an extra push as I rebounded back and trapped me inside the bleedin' thing again....

I shouldn't have had any problems really - Obi Pug Kenobi has me going round in circles after her without any problems at all. This week it's been refusing to eat her dinner until I have mixed in some beef gravy - she'll be wanting me to eat it for her next....
