Working 9 'til 5

I worked on Thursday for the day.

Well day is stretching it a bit, it was 8.30 - 2.00, including the rather nice free lunch we had.

And working is stretching it a bit too, it mostly involved 'being available' to answer questions and putting table cloths on 50 tables - but there were at least 9 of us doing that, so we weren't actually slaving away over trestle table.

The worst bit was the god-awful t-shirt we had to wear, and the fact that we got to keep it.

The reason for this was Freshers' Week and this was an event put on by the Business School and as I had got one of the highest scores in the subject that was running this event I had been 'volunteered' to help. Hmmmm, I thought you were supposed to be rewarded for doing well, not picked on.

There were about 500 students involved, assuming around 50% were male, and 50% of those were reasonably cute (for an old woman with bad eyesight who's not terribly fussy) that was approximately 125 good reasons to get up early.

I'm such a tart.
