One of my new toys was delivered to work. Unfortunately I hadn't quite counted on it being a rather large box, bigger than my rucksack. I left it there for a day while I was too busy to do anything else.
Today, I consdired:
* I could have asked someone for a lift. If someone had been just leaving I would have done, but it didn't seem difficult enough to bother pestering someone for.
* Asked a friend for a lift. But again, it seemed overkill.
* Gone home for a bigger rucksack. In fact, I've been looking for one for when I have a lot to carry, but I didn't feel like shopping today, I wanted to wait until I had some time.
* Opened the box at work and repacked the smaller boxes in my knapsack. But rather a faff, and what if I couldn't get them back.
* Built it at work and manouvered it home (wait for next post). But that would be Silly! :)
However, it was *extremely* light, and the box was quite stiff yet easily puncturable. And it was a lovely day and I didn't have to be in early tomorrow. So I poked some finger holes and walked half way home with it on my head.
* I'm going my bit to keep cambridge strange. Though other people walk about with armchairs on their heads.
* I was tempted to write "Yes, I am carrying a box on my head. Why do you ask?" on the side first :)
