Today, after nearly a year of working in this office, I discover that the hot tap in the kitchenette works.  For some unknown reason, I’d assumed that because there wasn’t a hot tap in the loo, that the hot tap in the kitchen wouldn’t work either.  I was boiling a kettle for washing up when an orqueuse de vache pointed out this was not necessary.

I regret to say that in the year I have been working here, this was the first abortive attempt at washing up.
