Just over a week ago there were so many of us project-ites we had to nick chairs from the seating area on the landing outside our office and we were stepping over one another to be able to even get out the office door. Now everyone has left me and they have spread all over the globe: Bárbara to Canada, Marine to Rennes, Fiona to the grim north (brrr), Aengus to the Ashley Building and Zeth to the goldfish bowl that is the ITSEE office. I am all alone in room 224, soldiering on, making my own cups of tea and with no-one to keep me on the straight and narrow. Although on the upside I can have the heater on so high that the office resembles a Swedish sauna with no-one to moan. Every cloud and all that.
