Haha that was my thought as well!
Awesome, which pub is that? Sounds good to me, Kenilworth is only 5/10 mins from my house.

What a great thread , just lost myself in it and I feel your pain . Can't wait for the xmas party story's and hopefully all this pent up frustration will spew out with the alcohol intake
I swerved my Christmas party - its boring, depressing and the entertainment is dreadful. I went to the Albion Millwall game instead.
Oh.
I swerved my work Christmas party too. It was actually at the Amex, I decided I'd already had enough disappointing nights surrounded by people that I don't know there, so I didn't really want to add on another.

UNBRIDLED JOY has broken forth in my office today.
For long-term followers of this thread, the woman who I always post about announced that today is her LAST DAY IN THE OFFICE EVER. Her and her dreary husband have opted for a 'lifestyle change' and are moving to the Peak District to run a B&B. I've just told my wife to return whatever she has bought for me for Christmas, as it won't get anywhere near trumping today's news.
This is the dictionary definition of MARVELOUS SCENES.
I shall hopefully now be able to take a backseat on this thread, and pity others from afar. Ladies and gentlemen, it's been an honour. Over and out.

There's a woman in my office who's pulled a series of ridiculous attempts to make management think she's broke - not eating lunch, not WASHING for a week, mentioning loudly about her husband being sick then asking to cancel her health insurance as "she can't afford it" and backing out at the last minute, and so on.
She has now resigned. Clearly hoping they plead her to come back with more cash.
We're all planning her going away party with glee.

Your caution is well-placed - that is exactly the first question I asked. And the answer? Her role is being split between three existing members of staff - all of whom are pretty decent.
Merry Christmas!

Thanks! Not even a crushing defeat tomorrow afternoon will puncture this mood.

Seeing [MENTION=5238]Brian Fantana[/MENTION] news is I'd imagine similar to the reaction one would have when someone leaves the Priory or has their last ever AA meeting.
Happy for them. Sad to see them go.
I'm going nowhere near the Peak District on holiday that's for sure.

It's been a real JOURNEY, that's for sure.
My exit from this thread is tinged with sadness, but it gives hope to everyone else that victory can be achieved.
Feel free to come back to visit!

Don't you worry, I'll be watching closely and chipping in with smug comments every now and then.
DISASTER has struck today. It's my last day in before Xmas and I've left my headphones at home meaning I will now have to listen to the DREARY INANE DRIVEL emanating from most of the office. May have to pull a sickie and leave early before I assault someone...
Oh dear, that's TERRIBLE news. Is there not a shop nearby where you can buy some EMERGENCY headphones?
I'm about to pop my headphones on, one of the dogs in the office is hungry and has started growling at everyone, this will continue ALL day.

The *******s in my office seem to think that because I work with IT, it means that I am a full time IT support technician who knows how to fix everything from laptop batteries to screen resolution settings. None of them seem able to plug or unplug any kind of cable from their laptops without calling me over to help them.
How can people get a job if they don't understand that to have power running to your computer, you need to have a power cable plugged into your computer.

The nearest shop is a 5 minute drive away and I cycle to work so it's not an option sadly. I've resorted to sticking some Blu-tac in both ears to try and drown out the drivel.
Don't be too hasty in your celebration, the irritating CHUBSTER at my last office (from earlier in the thread) announced her last leaving day and even had leaving drinks. She then turned up again the next Tuesday having been given an extra one month contract, I can't tell you how ANGRY I was.
