Protests outside work & chilling

We had a little bit of excitement today as we were warned there was a protest outside the main entrance and that we should use the rear one. Being nosy gits, Pete and I ventured to the front door to see what all the fuss was about! To be honest it was a bit of an anticlimax! There were three people with banners and a megaphone shouting protests against Air France-KLM and their policy of transporting animals for vivisection. The protesters were in good spirits and were chatting merrily to the police officers that were present (who matched them in number!)

We were told to go back to our offices as these people wanted us to stare at them, even though they had their backs to us and were completely oblivious to our presence LOL

If you feel that way inclined you can read more about the protest now

As I said it was a bit of an anticlimax after the build up but I did manage to grab a crafty pic!


In other work news, it was all relatively stress free today. I'm busy so am just keeping my head down and getting on with things and trying to filter out any outside interference and white noise. We'll see how that goes! Apparently a message has been passed up the chain about the state of the union so perhaps there may well be some tremors as a result of that in the not too distant future, fingers crossed!

Evening was spent chilling out to Psychoville and South Park and the chilling was good!
