Scrooge
By dulwichmum | November 20, 2009
I am so damn disillusioned (inhales deeply), it feels as though everything is smoke and mirrors (clutches chest). For some, recycling is about image and nothing at all to do with saving the planet (dabs tear from eye)…
The Big Boss has been moaning and rumbling on about cut backs. I am horrified to observe that this thriving, profitable company is jumping on the recession bandwagon, purely for convenience, cruelly abusing its own employees, and on the count down to Christmas too…(sob). The BB assumes that he can claim hardship, slip in a few redundancies, and rid the department of anyone who ever dared to disagree with him (blows nose loudly)!
The BB has even refused to allow me to have the super new desk I found at Linley (stomps foot)!
“We must all be seen to pull in our belts, make do, recycle and cut back,” he lectured.
I was just trying to play my part in getting this economy moving…
Don’t worry dear friends, my position here is secure (smirk). Oh indeed yes, I have a photo of my recently turned vegetarian boss, indulging in some top level nose bag, while standing by the window of The Chicken Cottage on Borough Road. His wife (my Facebook friend) would murder him – clearly!
I imagine that he would rather be discovered kerb crawling, wearing a blue rubber gimp mask while smothered in blue minty fresh Colgate toothpaste, than defying a direct order from Maristella!
I do not like to see my hard working colleagues so cruelly manipulated (places perfectly manicured hand on heart). Our Christmas party has been cancelled (gasp), our florist’s contract shredded – apparently we are not to have so much as a Christmas tree or bauble! Can you believe, I overheard the old goat assert to his PA this very afternoon that his Personalized Smythson Christmas card order, with specially commissioned signed portrait, is to continue?
I have been reading this thread on the East Dulwich Forum with great interest and I am inspired (smirk).
When the BB’s expensive Christmas card arrives on my desk, wishing me and mine “a Happy Holiday”, I shall simply write “and the same heart felt wishes to you too”… And return it to his “in” tray with the incriminating image of him avec snout dans trough printed on a specially commissioned festive mouse mat.
RIGHTBACKATCHA!
I adore recycling, for all the right reasons.

Trying really hard to get the gimp masked man covered in Colegate out of my head. Will be switching toothpaste brands tout de suite!

I’m sure that as costs have plummeted you could possibly go a step further and have the picture mounted on a billboard visible from his office. Happy holidays!

Oh ThatGirl39 sweetie,
I am so very sorry about that – it is just something a work colleague mentioned over coffee and I can’t seem to get that image out of my head now either!
Sweet MOB,
There is a plan!

If that sanctimonious bastard dares to send holiday greetings on expensive paper – well – grrrrrrrrrr – then indeed do blow up your pic and place it absolutely everywhere!
Cheap soandso!
