Bills arrived so far this week: 2
Awaiting payment: 3

Letters for other people that have arrived in the postbox this week: 2

Telemarketer cold calls since I changed phone numbers and got a silent line: 0

Number of e-mails in my inbox at home: 238
At work: 165

Requiring a new battery: 1

Days the Man Of Mystery who shares my cubicle has actually shown his face at work this week: 2
Minutes he was at his desk for: About 30 (pretty much on the phone or sending e-mails for the whole time; nothing he couldn’t do remotely. Amazing how messy his desk is, for someone who is rarely at it. I wonder if he’s a bit like Pete Gibbons in Office Space)
Oh… number of different brands of deodorant he has on his desk: 3

Number of 1 litre cartons of milk in the fridge at home: 3
