At 5.13 I’m at my desk spraying Pledge onto a yellow cleaning cloth Zsolt keeps in the cupboard in the disabled toilet when Caroline comes over with an envelope.
‘Whats this?’ I say.
‘Going-away present,’ she says, ‘from the office,’
I’m surpised. I wasn’t expecting anything.
‘I wasn’t expecting anything,’ I say.
We didn’t know what to get you,’ she says.
I open the envelope and find two £10 book tokens and the card they’ve all signed.
’2 x £10? Those cheap cunts only put in about 25p each.’ I say.
And we laugh until I say I might cry.
