When A Eyeroll Isn't Enough!

Friday. The golden child of the weekdays. The superhero of the workweek. The welcome wagon to the weekend. The famous F word we thank God for every week - Anon  
The Friday Feeling is back again \o/
After such a late night....
It was nice to have a little bit of lie-in..
We had cuddles in bed....
Then all the windows got opened up!
We got ready to leave...
Fresh air time..
 We went round to my dad's who is still unwell.
We changed his duvet covers on his bed.

I went to my job.
One co-worker was moaning about there was nothing at the end of the titles of "The Avengers Endgame".
He watched it last night in 3D.
(So did I)
He got upset at the end.
(So did I)
He was pissed the cinema staff told him there was nothing at the end of the titles...
(I knew already) 
I finished mopping the floor, added the yellow sign saying:
One co-worker says:
"You should have rinsed out the mop head before mopping the floor".
I reply with:
&
"I had to get the tea stains off the floor!"
Then she just walked straight onto the wet floor....
I left.......the building...
