Faces blank, mouths shut.

Repeat to self: Must not giggle in front of Mr Big.

Some time ago, Mr Big said something to the Office Gossip (who is also project managing the facility upgrade, very much against his will) about blocking out the upper windows in order to reduce the glare and heat in summer. This was evidently interpreted as "blacking" out the upper windows, and is being carried out now, as I type. Literally. They are putting black vinyl on the upper windows.

We were in the tea room whilst the workman was doing some of this. Mr Big came in and saw the results. He wasn't entirely happy with it. He'd forgotten all about the conversation he'd had with the Office Gossip, and didn't look (or sound) too impressed with the...blackness...of the results. He looked a little amused, fortunately. But the rest of us were still left stifling grins and giggles like crazy.

And the results will be worth it - everybody will be able to see their computers properly, and nobody will die from heat exhaustion this summer. (Okay. I am exaggerating. A bit.)

..and then he comes down to QC and asks my opinion..

"errr.. i don't care either way" says she and leaves it at that then runs away to giggle at the OfficeGossip again.

Apparently said blackness (no not me) is now on hold.
