Offices are dull boring places most of the time, well, mine is. So anything you can do to brighten up your day should be applauded. At least that’s the way I feel. Unless you wear a hilarious comedy cartoon tie of course, in which case a slow period of strangulation is too good for you. Why do people who wear comedy ties consistently wear a perpetual grin? I’m assuming a bad case of retardation is the cause, but I’m not sure. Anyway I digress.

Fat Jim has been away for a few days and brought me back a mug, he gave it to me as part of a marathon “I’ve been away and you haven’t” bragging session, the miserable twat. I’m not in the least bit grateful, but the mug itself is quite good. Firstly, it’s quite big so I can get a lot of caffeine in it. Secondly, and most importantly, it has a picture of several attractive women in bikini’s on an exotic beach. In short, it is a work of art.

This is not the best bit however. Oh no. When you add a hot drink to the mug, the bikini’s disappear. What wonderful magic this is! So, when it comes to brightening up the office, you can see why I like this item.

But not everyone feels the same as me. Oh no.

I received an email today from HR, it read thus.

“Hi Angry,

Would you mind taking your new mug home, I’m afraid a couple of people are a little offended by it.

Thanks!

HR Nazi”

OK, they didn’t sign it HR Nazi, but the rest is accurate. I went to see the Nazi to discuss this matter, and my email response could’ve got me in more trouble than it’s worth. (more…)
