Revised Christmas Carol for Office Workers

Away in a Manger redux

Away in the office
Wishing he was still in bed
The Little Lord David
Laid down his bored head

The manager in her office
Looked down where he lay
The little Lord David
Asleep on his In-Tray

The telephone is ringing
Poor employee awakes
And little Lord David
Sad faces he makes.

If you're happy and you know it please don't show it...

This inter-office email forced a wry smile from my lips.

Hi Level Two Workers

There is a card for M--- B--- on my desk to congratulate her on her upcoming
wedding. I will be sending this card to Level 1 at 4:30 today so if you want to
sign it please come and see me before then.

Please respect that M-- does not want a big fuss made.

Regards,

A---

Office life is such an etiquette minefield. Must we be told how sincere or expressive our congratulations are?

How about I congratulate her but not really mean it? Will that suffice?

Oh God! Yes!! Oh God! Oh God!! Yes! Yes! Yes!

It seems that Christians are using the advertising power of sex to sell religion. This advertisement from New Zealand has caused controversy.

The advertisement is part of a promotion by the progressive Christian church, St Matthew's to engage non-believers.

Silvio TKO

Am I alone in thinking that Italain Prime Minsiter Silvio Berlusconi looked a bit like Hitler in this photo taken after he was assualted in Milan this month?

Kirby Your Enthusiam

66 year-old maverick (that is, borderline psychotic and arrogantly irresponsible) New South Wales Liberal Senator Bill Heffernan will almost certainly be re-elected at the 2010 Federal election after being placed 2nd on the Liberal Senate Ticket. Presumably he will spend this next term in office deliberately and gleefully slandering social liberals like he pilloried Justice Kirby.

Heffernan was quoted after the result saying,

"I can't think of anyone else in the federal parliament who can knock the nuts out of a bull or skin a sheep"

Yes Bill - but do you knock the nuts out with your teeth huh Bill? Huh? Or do you use a knife you city-slicking pansy.
