I chose to give the cat back to the little person! and finally (with a hint) sorted out the boosters.
I'm a little stuck on what to do now, rather than give you the list of all the things I can't do, how 'bout, i just give you my list of what I'm carrying!
leather briefcase, employment papers, ID Card, Passcard (my one), supply room card, business card, crowbar, light tube, metal plate, radio receiver, fire extinguisher, pet snacks, washcloth, plastic cup, round pot, small mirror, golden necklace (I did have 1 rubber tube, but I put it in the kitchen)
I'll wander around in the meantime, to try and find something to do - (please don't tell me I've got to try and sort out the power conduits, as I don't understand that at all).However, what's the betting, that's exactly what I have to do......(groans)

thank you for your time and advice
