Oops. Genuinely unintentional. Ah well, at least I'm on brand.
 
Oh, I know the actual one was on Friday but we have to be different, as bloody usual.
 
Oh when will this cold ever FUCK OFF. Today one of my sinuses is so bad that my jaw hurts on that side.
 
It was my Christmas night out last night

Whoever organised it on a MONDAY clearly didn't have plans to work today
 
Ooooh ‘tis the season of passive aggressive Christmas presents from suppliers I’ve fallen out with!

Last year I got taken to dinner to Nobu, this year they have just sent me a MINI bottle of PROSECCO, and a box of chocolates containing SIX chocolates.

A bag of flaming dog shit would’ve been more SUBTLE.

We've been discussing this morning how normally by this time we have many bottles of wines and spirits and boxes of chocolates and all we've had this year is two poxy tubs of Celebrations. We're blaming the General Election and Brexit for everybody being depressed and skint.
 
I must get some more PIXIES music to listen to

WAVE OF MUTILATION is fast becoming an OFFICE FAVOURITE :disco:
 
We all got a selection box yesterday and a £1 Cadbury's job it was too. I gave mine back, I've gained enough weight this year. :shy:
 
It hasn’t been a great year in my industry (interiors) although we are expecting a BORIS BOUNCE...
 
If I seeing another fucking email about a LOST MUG I'm going to scream.

IF IT MEANS THAT FUCKING MUCH TO YOU, DON'T FUCKING BRING IT TO WORK YOU INSIPID FUCKING PRICK
 
We used to get a box Thorntons chocolates every year, but they stopped last year. It was nice to get a token gift but lots of people commented that they would rather the money spent was donated to charity instead.

Do no companies give a cheeky Christmas Bonus these days?

I've put through two sets this morning, one a hairdresser and the other a tanning salon but that's the only two out of the two hundred payroll clients we have.

We usually get cash in an envelope from the boss.
 
We get a box of chocolates and a raffle with a bottle of booze for every staff member in it.
 
In other news, I really CAN'T BE FUCKED. I think I've entirely clocked out for Christmas already.

Funny you should say that as I ALWAYS gave my staff a Christmas bonus.
 
God if I'd have been given a box of chocolates in lieu of a bonus I would've RESIGNED on the spot.
 
Oh, sorry - update. They came 'round with doughnuts earlier. THAT'S OK THEN.
 
Mr Ag gets a nice bonus plus a hamper. He works at a lawyers so yer know.
 
I’ve put mine in a SAFE PLACE this year, as I think the majority of last years ended up going UP MY NOSE
 
Our most annoying husband-and-wife clients just brought us a box of Crispy Creme doughnuts. I got in there quick for a Nutella one before office woman started shoving them in her bag to take home.
 
Oh, fuck my LIFE - the person who has just been moved next to me is a God-botherer and is currently singing a song with the lyric "our God is a great big God". They must have been up all night writing that one...
 
I think this may be the religious equivalent of 'my Dad can beat up your Dad'.

I'd be complaining about that.

And he holds us in his hands? :D

We sing that at church playgroup.
 
Oh I'm going home early, today is just TOO TEPID FOR WORDS
 
I am PART OF YOU
These are UNIVERSAL TRUTHS
We're all PART of the LIGHT that FLOWS through EVERYTHING

Don't mind me just having a MOMENT

It's a bit repetitive, although I am basing this on a single performance. What was wrong with "He's Got The Whole World In His Hands"?
 
BORIS BOUNCE in action. 3 new projects starting since YESTERDAY. Just as I wanted to wind down. Might put my out of office on now.

When I was civil service we had a half day Christmas shopping flexi credit.

Now all we get is a letter from the chairman basically saying 'just be grateful you've got a job'.
