Should have known

I'm trying to think of a suitable clever phrase to typify the day. I guess I'll have to just go with "Don't count your chickens before they're hatched." Unfortunately it is rather apt.

Where to begin? I wasn't in quite the same unusually happy mood from the previous morning, however I don't believe that this was a contributing factor. Oh God, I've given it away with that comment haven't I? Oh well, pretend you didn't hear it....in fact you didn't hear it, unless you're reading this out loud of course.

Anyway (is this new papragraph justified? Stuff it), I got into work, said my hello's and even the responses were somewhat less cheary than yesterday. There was no physical way I could get what I needed to do done at work so I decided to help out my fellow agents (as well as try to usurp tiny fractions of power unusually successfully).

After a while I decided to approach her with some typical casual banter. This was not a happy time to be had by all. I did get a response.....but the impressions I got, whew. Do you remember the 80's/90's wrestling tag team called The Legion of Doom (pictured)? One of them died recently I believe and it's as if she had signed up to be the replacement member, made her own shoulder pads out of spiked ice, and invented her very own "Cold shoulder" move. I had to go back to my desk to get a pair of gloves to warm myself up after that one.

Maybe I had been staring at that corner I was talking about through a pair of binoculars by mistake. Not that they're zoomed in a hell of a lot, but I'm not quite where I thought I was. This is why I needed that second test.

Bollocks.
