The Crimbo workzone horror

[Ribenapigeon]

How Christmassy is your workplace? Ours is that depressing bare minimum that someone grudgingly stuck up with some bits of old tinsel found in the back of a cupboard. Grimm.

The bloke next to me is dressed in a full elf suit.

This elf suit has a bell attached to its hood, which jingles when he moves even the slightest amount.

He is very happy about this.

So. Much. Rage.

A couple of trees, not too bad.

The random noises have started in earnest though. Whistling, singing, "ah, come on, it's Chriiiiistmaaaas."

I have my earplugs in and am playing brown noise through my headphones.

Three more days. Hang in there.

Downstairs where the admin girls are is festooned with sparkly stuff and Christmas cards.

Upstairs in Operations, we have nothing. I believe my MD might wander into our office after lunch tomorrow smelling of garlic and wine and wearing a silly hat. Other than that we not tolerate festivities in our workspace.

I will however be making my home made meringues this evening for the secret santa and buffet downstairs tomorrow. I am not totally Grinch.

only our sales office has been transformed into a wonderland of tinsel an tat

no other department has bothered....mine included

[Omega]

I've got a tree behind my chair that I've knocked over a couple of times and I'll be wearing my Christmas boxers this week if that helps?

Anything christmas related has to be treated with maximum distrust....

Workplaces should be just that.

So unless you work in Santa's grotto. NONE is none than enough

We have a pretty swanky tree in our Broker Lounge, but then the place does look more like a 5* hotel lobby than an office.

Beyond the security doors into the plebs area, nothing! I might waste an afternoon making paper chains, I'm doing sod all else!

the number of christmas songs played in the shop have been slowly increasing from 1/3 songs, to nothing but.
Listening to nothing but shit covers of already shit christmas songs for 9 and a half hours is about enough to make one envy the deaf.

Other than that, the decor is minimal, limited to a few shittily glittered logs and some leaves stuck above a few of the shelves.

It's not overly exciting.
I've almost forgotten the meaning of the word "work", but I did a random day maiding last week.

There is a tree with baubles in the girls' waiting-room.
But that's about it.
I'm tempted to buy a box of mince pies and a bottle of sherry for when I am back there on Wednesday (which will make them safe from me scoffing them, as I am fond of neither sherry nor mince pies)

I noticed a "plus-sized" red PVC Mrs Santa outfit hanging in one room.
Might be my size

Definitely won't fit the girl who's working, who is about the size of a piece of wet spaghetti.
It might be amusing to greet her customers in it though

I'd be worried about ripping it, mind you ...
... or being propositioned by overenthusiastic punters led on by my sherry

I'm not sure what's worse. The current sad tattered bits of tinsel or if it was the full Disneyland mega grotto. I'm thinking nothing at all or a proper effort is the way it should be but I remember when the workplace used to be quite jolly round Christmas where even the bah humbugging was partly tongue in cheek.

Half Man Half Biscuit has it right

It is pretty cliched to hate Christmas.

I got annoyed with my friend for saying she hated the Kardashians... why hate people you've never met? Nothing them.

Much like Christmas. As Jen says, just ignore the bits of it you dislike, avoid putting your in debt for the sake of it, buy one decent present person... and decent is judged by the thought, not the price.

And chill the fuck out with your friends or family.

As for my work... long story, but I feel pretty damn Christmassy for once.

edit: I did, and then I went back to work. Humbug. 3 months to freedom.

our department had to source some trees for the boys and girls out on the floor, does that count?
