We had a punch-up at work the other day. Someone was trying to help themselves to a packet of cut-price chocolates and got shoved in the back by a disgruntled husband who was unhappily being dragged round the aisles by his wife. The One Who Was Pushed reacted by saying "If you want these biscuits that much you can have 'em mate" and slapped him across the face with the packet, and next thing you knew it was like 1am outside a nightclub.
Stuff got damaged, the police were called, and it all got a bit unsavoury really.
I was delighted, I have to be honest. As the nearest member of the management team to the incident I had to fill out all the paperwork, which kept me in the office and away from the shopfloor for most of the afternoon and evening. I may start paying people to come in and cause trouble on all my shifts - then I can spend all my filling in forms and might never have to face the public again!
Christmas was very nice, but a bit unexciting. Most of our celebrations will come later on when Sophie and Tamara move nearby and we all have a belated Christmas all together. Philippa and I enjoyed The Big Day alone in our Big House. I overcooked the sprouts and made them like bullets but apart from that it was all very pleasant.
I can only hope that your Christmas Day was as relaxed as mine, and I shall leave it there for now..
