It is a day of loud noises in the office.

There's a workman installing power and network points in an unused corner of the room, so that next week's new starter can have a desk there. This has caused some very loud drilling noises for several hours, although things have quietened down now.

Also, there's a rhythmic crashing sound coming from the kitchen. This is because a couple of guys from upstairs are moving desks tomorrow, and have somehow managed to accumulate between them two huge packing crates full of empty Coke cans, which they're now crushing and feeding into the can recycling bin, mostly by stamping on them since the can crusher is broken. I estimate that they have about a thousand cans and that it will take about an hour for them to deal with the whole lot. Quite where they were storing all these empty cans before they gathered them into two enormous packing crates, I have no idea.

Bah. Now the workman's power tools have started up again…
