The Septimus Notes

|And that's why you keep keep waiting for the express train.|

Justin arrived today. He'll be here for a week. Part of this week is leaving for a villa in the south of France (Grau d'Agde, if you are familiar) for the weekend this afternoon (may I remind you that it's only Thursday).

Due to baggage issues and a tornado watch, his plane left late. And he had some trouble managing the journey from CDG to my APT. As a result, I did not leave for work until 10.55 this morning (I'm supposed to arrive between 9 and 10, ideally).

With the exception of the randomly excited bout of work that I had the past few days (so much work that I came in over the weekend, and worked for 15 hours on Monday), I have sat here, hour after hour, day after day doing nothing and not being sought by anybody.

And then, somewhere between Rue de Paresseux (laziness) and the Pont de Languissant (lackadaisical), on the day that I'm leaving early for a luxurious weekend, my blackberry buzzed with an email (from the managing partner): "SWS2.1, I've been vainly trying to reach you all morning. Are you in the office?"

C'mon!
