Your Office / moves 1 / score 0 Time: 9:20 am
This morning started out much as normal: you awoke to the sound of the radio as it spluttered into life, dozily dragged yourself out of bed and eventually arrived at work, having washed, dressed and breakfasted on soggy cornflakes in between these two major events.
