You know what I really miss about working in an office?

I miss _making mischief_.

I want to be badly behaved every now and then.

Just a little.

I want to play Cards Against Humanity at lunchtime, or get drunk and talk about things I shouldn't and make rude jokes,

or have a massive sweary whinge about everything that pisses me off, or steal office stationery, or skive off to go shopping, or skip out of a whole company update to eat cake and giggle with my office bestie, or pretend to have an Important Meeting so I can go for a gossip.

Or invent stupid games with sharpies and wheelie chairs, or post little notes everywhere, or hide surprises in the biscuit tin, or break things and laugh about being clumsy.

I want to bring my Allen key to work, remove the arms from a chair and put a "Clare's chair" sign on it.

And I want random daft things to happen that are shared by many of us at the same time. I want a squirrel to appear in the kitchen bin.

I want to make a blind out of postits because the sun keeps shining on my screen, like I did at Federation House Manchester.

[Sigh]
