Well, we’re all here in December merrily settling in for the festive season and although I can find my Christmas cheer quite easily at home I am struggling a bit in the office. You see, I married a man who believes that the office is where you go to work, nose to the grindstone all day. I, on the other hand, believe that there should be some social aspect to work. You spend more than 7 hours a day in the office with the same people, you are bound to find out about their lives. But since living with R I have veered a little to his way of thinking. For example, do I really need to know that the person sitting opposite me has a rash THERE?
Recently I received a few Christmas cards from colleagues I barely speak to signed with ‘love’, been told to buy secret gifts for people at work that have to be ‘cheeky and fun’ and finally to add to the commercial feeling, was informed loudly by my boss that they spend on average £ 500 per child on presents alone (they have two children). And that’s when I started feeling a little sad for Christmas.
So, I’ve decided that although I won’t be sharing many Christmassy festive thoughts at work, I will definitely save up all my cheer for home and family, where it should be.
Anyway, enough of the Christmas bah-humbug feeling OtherMonkey! I hope that everyone will be spending time with the ones they love and that Christmas this year is all that you hoped it would be. I’ll be posting up some Christmas decoration photo’s up soon so that should really get me into the festive swing of things.
