Sophie's Socks and Stuff

There is some sort of huge departmental renovation going on at the moment. Mostly I have missed the disruptions but now the roof is being done and I'm on the top floor. Most days there is so much banging and stamping directly overhead I wouldn't be suprised to see a workman appear in the office through the ceiling. The builders are really not popular in my neck of the woods as they have managed to leave 2 roof hatches open twice over the weekend, each time resulting in flooding of the lab and the second time the flooding wrecked some very expensive custom made equipment. Still fortunately I don't do experimenting over here so I only get hassled by the noise on the rare occaisions I actually try and get some work done.
