Elevated Renovations

Sitting at my desk at work is fascinating at the moment. The building opposite is being renovated and for now that means the insides are torn out. I think the building has about ten floors, and there is a skip hanging somewhere near the ninth floor. The building is big and black, part of the wall in the front has been torn out, and there is this red skip hanging in mid-air. It fascinates me. There are all sorts of rules about safety, and this is actually possible. I see big pieces of wood, rock and metal just missing the skip and falling down, and at times there is a huge cloud of dust. It is pretty distracting.

I finally got my cellphone today, apparently I am the last one in the company to get one. That was definitely my choice, I don’t like the things. I am sure they are very useful, and I am also sure they are addictive. We’ll see how it goes. For now I just have to work out what to do, which is hard enough.
