We got the box open eventually. It turns out that the "administrator" had taken the keys to the department just before vanishing, so that's what she was after. One of the developers eventually opened it by chiselling the rod out of the hinges, looking suspiciously like he'd done it before, followed by a joint effort of levering the two halves apart using a set of screwdrivers.
We have another German over temporarily, by the name of Julia. She's been visiting my old school and meeting all the terrifying language teachers. Listening to her and my mother speak has unfortunately made me realise how terrible I've let my German ability get.
Whitney has been rather ill with a cold all day (which if you ask me could be some sort of karmic retribution for when she likened The Crystal Maze to Supermarket Sweep). I've been feeding her on vegetable stock, biscuits, crisps and other healthy revitalising food, so she'll hopefully be better by Saturday when we move down to the flat.
Otherwise, things are going pretty well - she's at least here, and I got an email asking for permission to perform the Memory of Babylon yesterday. I have also been receiving an avalanche of messages from a scarily enthusiastic Crystal Towers fan who writes about one thousand words per email. It's always nice to be appreciated.
