I arrived back in the jolly old office of dull and decided, as I didn't like the look of the suit waiting for the lift, I would walk up to the fourth floor.
Not smart, as on the landing on the first floor there was a maintenance chap struggling with one end of a ladder that was being carried by an out of site work chum of his on the next landing up.
Every time they got to a landing there was a lot of "no up, not that way - round a bit" stuff disturbingly reminiscent of The Chuckle Brothers but they did manage to get round each landing. At the fourth floor our ways parted as they went on to the fith.
I dump my coat on my chair and wander across the office, out of the door to the other stairwell and go into the toilet. Coming out and opening the door to the office, who (or rather what) should I see pointing at me? Yep, that bloody ladder and the two lads that had already humped it up to the fith floor via the other stairwell!
"Fuck are you following me?"
"Oh look we caught you again, nah mate"

They then took the ladder up to the fith floor via the OTHER stairs.

Moments later as I sat at my desk, the fire alarms go off. We all rise swearing lightly and grab our coats, only for one of the ladder carriers to come through our office with what looks like a big can of hairspray in his hand saying loudly
"Its a false alarm, sorry, its' not real - it was me! Better go tell all the other floors I suppose"

Franky I have no fucking idea.
