Turkeys
Trussed, stuffed, roasted and sliced thinly : I knew just how the turkey had felt.
It seems every office we stray to we manage to witness a fire. This time we watched it start. At first no one, including us, seemed very worried but then the smoke got thicker and the alarm bells started.
Not being based in this office we looked at each other, wondering if this was the usual day and hour when the alarms were tested or if this was something more serious. It soon became clear it was serious as the shutter were closed and the kitchen staff ran out. We quickly followed them.“ Is that smoke supposed to be there ? ”
The point of being here was meetings. Normally it’s one side of the company pitched against the other. Today it seemed we were fighting amongst ourselves. I really wonder how we were ever sort this out whilst we have people with these attitudes.
Clearly we weren’t going to get any agreement and we headed back to the canteen. “We decided the news was all too upsetting and everyone needed cheering up”, said the woman, serving me turkey with all the trimmings. “Nothing cheers you up like Christmas dinner”. She adjusted her Santa hat and pointed out the Cranberry sauce.
After lunch any Christmas cheer we picked up didn’t last long. All we got was no : no we can’t, no we shouldn’t, no we won’t.
Trussed and stuffed.
