DEEPER UNDERSTANDING

Here is a list of things I hate:

Marmalade

Cobbles

My patronage of the Daily Mail website

Hypocrisy

Snow

Top Gear

Terracotta

First dates

To the marmalade-loving, hypocritical Daily Mail readers of Durham (there are lots of cobbles in Durham), some of my dislikes may seem arbitrary, but surely the resounding consensus is that nobody likes first dates; they are essentially an interview to assess how good you are at being yourself. Despite my experience in the field, I find first dates no more enjoyable now than I ever did. I want to skip the first one and jump ahead to the seventh when Guy and I will be conversant in each other’s lives and able to chat without awkward pauses. He’ll be here any minute; I might put it to him.

At work this afternoon, I volunteered to photocopy and file the recent press cuttings. This job must be carried out on a monthly basis and is universally loathed throughout the office; you can tell when it’s coming up because people start sending pre-emptive emails about their egregiously heavy workload … I’d SO do the cuttings round-up, guys, if it wasn’t for this one client … bloody clients, eh? Who’s with me?! You get it. Definitely sign me up for next month, though … Usually, we just make Ella the Temp do it, but today I elected myself for two reasons:

I knew it would result in the plaudits and respect of my colleagues, plus maybe gifts of cookies.

It would force me to be away from my desk, thus away from my phone.
