Hear Ye Hear Ye
It's not often that the working man and woman here at Manildra agree on something without exception . But I have not heard one bad thing about the Xmas Card given to us by Brunner ( John B ) .
Everyone thinks it's a good thing ...... Ok in fact we all think it's the bloody greatest thing that's happened here for ages .
I'm going to spend mine on .........hang on my wife has snaffled it and it appears it is already spent . So thanks Brunner ( John B ) I'm going to love all those hair products and face creams !
I keep mentioning that the gift comes from Brunner ( John B ) . Well what do you think ?
I looked at the list of bosses on the card and for the life of me couldn't imagine say Tony F. or John C. coming up with the idea of giving the staff a hundred bucks each for Xmas ..... Can you ?
Take Daniel for example he's like a Swiss Bank that gives nothing away . His view of Industrial Relations Down Under would indicate he would rather walk over hot coals then give away hard cash as a gift .
Apart from the Bank of Scotland recently , Scots generally have a well earned reputation for tight purse strings and Tony is a shining example of this tradition . I'm fairly certain this was not his brainchild .
Chillers is Chillers . The fall guy , gets blamed for everything . He would be the character that everyone boos at the pantomine . And he plays the role to the hilt ..... The gift wasn't his idea .
Gary Eggo is well known for being a serious and responsible paymaster . He is that diligent and careful with it you would swear it was his own money . I don't think it was his idea but I'm not 100% sure like I am with the other signatories . He is very supportive of a Xmas party so you never know .
Brendan Lea can be a generous fellow no question , but not this generous .
There is one anomaly and that's Carolyn , I knew she was influential but I didn't realize how much !
I'll have to watch it around Davo now , his Missus runs the joint !
Jokes aside , I've heard way too many people saying the Xmas card is better than a party . Wrong wrong wrong , nothing is better than a good party especially one where all the workmates and their partners get to bond over food and alcohol and music .
Parties are magic with synergies created that are not captured with a gift voucher no matter how generous the amount .
Play that record again mate , I'm going to dance my arse off just as soon as I've drunk this schooner and eaten this tucker
The next day at work is a pearler . It always is after a Xmas party .
Have a good day everyone .
Sounds like a male version of The Spice girls
