Currently accepted TSH range according to AACE is 0.3-3.0.  Older ranges were in the 0.5-5.0 vicinity.  Either way, there is no way that a TSH of 0.8 is "a tad high".  It's flat out normal to slightly on the low side.

sounds a tad high. Look up tsh charts on the web, they will tell you what is normal.

TSH of 0.8 is in the "normal" range (0.3-3.0).  However, TSH is a very poor indicator of thyroid function, so unless this was a screening test, more testing is probably indicated.  Do you have thyroid symptoms?  Are you on thyroid meds?  What prompted TSH testing?  Do you have a diagnosed thyroid condition/disease?
