Just listened to our answerphone messages. Somebody obviously wasn't paying attention when asked to leave his name and number after the beep, as the whole recording is about 30 seconds long and features a man greeting the machine over and over again, in a somewhat confused manner.
"...Hello? Hello? ... Hello? Hello! Hello? .... Hello?"
Also today I spoke to a young lady who needed to pass pretty sharpish - in just under three weeks time, no less. She's had around 5 hours tuition, and so would be looking at around a 30 hour course. When asked why she needed to pass so quickly she told me that she and her partner were going on holiday to Australia, and were intending to drive through it. A roadtrip holiday to Australia is all well and good, if you can drive. Oh, and in case you were wondering, her partner can't drive either; he's after an intensive course too. It takes three weeks for the actual licence to come through once you've passed, so as Jordan (our new office assistant) pointed out, she needs to have passed last week in order for her licence to be through in time.
We try to help as many people as we can, but we haven't yet worked out how to turn back time. It's on the to do list.
In other news there was a massive clap of thunder outside just now. We all rushed to the window, being nosy people, and outside the sky was blue and there wasn't a drop of rain to be seen. All a bit weird.

It just goes to prove my almost daily mantra that in an increasing number of people you meet these days, if their brains were converted into dynamite, they wouldn't have enough to blow their ears off. How they survive each day is a miracle to me.
