Christmas Cheer
In corporate world this becomes a couple of things
- The customer party – where we open our cheque book, book a venue and ply the punters with drinking and nibbles for a few hours in the summer evening.

The customers party – where we go along and partake of their drinks and nibbles for a bit
The sending of gift baskets – how else would the world stock of quince paste ever get used? All manner of foul and disgusting things wrapped in tinsel – tinned cheese FFS.
The calendar. Varying sizes and shapes. This seems to be bi-annual, one year none, the next six or seven. Some are even gasped at in awe due to them being the size of small hoardings.
‘Thank you’ lunches, sort of like the old days but without the drinking, and only 90 minutes long and not all afternoon – although I guess it depends who or where you work.
and cake. Cake appears sometimes, this year it migh still be biscuits, but they still arrive.
Bonus this year I got a gift box of a vendor badged tie and cuff-links – for those special occasions – I think I may have been #4 on the list as #1-3 didn’t want them.
It’s hard in the #cubefarm with the lollies and pastries, this year the speedo’s are going to be tighty, tightier than usual
A life just as ordinary
