title pic Treacherous times…

Posted by dulwichmum on Mon 15 December 2008

What does it say about the esteem in which I am held at my place of work, that my Big Boss has given me this frightful pastel, floral, vinyl, wipe clean lap top bag as a Christmas gift? OHMYGOD!

BB clearly doesn’t consider me to be a go getting, kick-ass business woman (wail).

Yes I am feminine in the work place, but I consider myself to a vamp: More Joan Collins from Dynasty, than Mrs Godsey from the Waltons (blows nose loudly).

Damn this horrid credit crunch, I will not be jobless in the new year… (Shrieks) I REFUSE (stamps foot).

Can you imagine ME? Taking the dog for walks and then hanging around the house all day in a horrid cashmere track suit and vile MBT trainers. Baking (I could end up the size of Nigella Lawson!) and S-E-W-I-N-G (feigns vomiting), supervising homework (clutches chest), practicing vile din each evening with the darlings – spending time together bonding as a family (dabs eyes dramatically). What about my nails (blows nose)?

No really, it is not for everyone.

I shall purchase the BB a book on composting and some gardening gloves on the way home this evening. Two can play that game, I am not yet quite as expensive as him, and I feel he is past his peak…

  • Victoria said,

    Is your boss so behind that he hasn’t realised that shabby chic was totally ruined by people who… actually can’t afford new clothes?

  • Potty Mummy said,

    That’s a LAP TOP BAG? I thought it was a nappy bag… Evil Cath Kidston, to saddle high flying career women like yourself with such an accessory to take into meetings.

  • nappy valley girl said,

    Cath Kidston; surely just Laura Ashley for the noughties?

  • dulwichmum said,

    Ohmygod Victoria,

    You are so damn right! I never thought of it that way!

    Sweet Potty Mummy,

    I knew you would understand. It is completely horrid, isn’t it.

    Perfect Nappy Valley Girl,

    And well, we all know that Laura Ashley originated in Wales… Say no more!

    Laura Ashley – c’mon the man’s been down to Primark for goodness sake. It looks like it started out in life as a Premier Lodge shower cap – hideous, just hideous. Have your ‘woman that does’ refashion it into a pair of waterproof swimming trunks for the old gentlemen – with a thong perhaps? What marvellous revenge and the perfect leaving present for him. You must learn new skills dear lady and learn to breathe deeply. Dig in and hunker down, only another two to three years of deep recession to get through before things start to look up.
