what i have learned since starting work

what i have learned since starting work:

1. it takes exactly 4 hours to get from my front door to the weymouth office

2. it is possible to get stuck in a barrier on the underground and not be able to wriggle/force your way out. to achieve this, wheel your suitcase in front of you as the barriers open, so it goes through first. the barrier recognises a 'heavy load' and thinks it is you. the barrier then closes just as you are walking thru. at least. at least, i think that's how it works. whatever, it's bloody embarrassing for a fat lass.

oh, and quite a lot of stuff about my new place of work too...
