caddymanThere is a weirdo in this office somewhere and no-one knows who it is.
Sometime over the past couple of weeks or so, someone has been wandering around stealing personal and family photographs from desks and filing cabinets. Whether it is just this floor or a wider problem, I don’t know. Whoever it is even whipped my photo of Gillian Anderson, which has been pinned or blu-tacked to a succession of partitions or filing cabinets these past ten years. It’s annoying, but hardly a great loss. More worrying are the irreplaceable family photos other people have lost. There was a rumour that all the pictures taken were of women or young girls, but that has been squelched and our picture thief is taking any photograph available (except, it seems, my photocopy of Louise Brooks – not good enough quality, I imagine).
I doubt we’ll ever find out who has wandered off with them or why.
There are some strange people in the world.

My own desk is a blizzard of paper with one 4-inch resin-cast model of the god "Ganesh" sitting on the top. Now, I'm not a Hindu (Hindon't?) but hats off to the little chap anyway. If stolen, it will grow to life-size (which is only 5-inches but he's very tough) and eat the bone-marrow out of whoever took him. This is not very Ganesh-like behavior according to the Puranas and is most likely to have been the result of an Ancient Indian curse - I dropped my suitcase on the foot of a professor of Sanskrit while passing through Mumbai airport, who hopped around a bit while chanting something serious.
