Insanity and Banality at work

In other news, the September Awkward Office Social Event draws ever nearer. This event caps off the month that has basically been an Office Awkwardness extravaganza. With numerous people leaving the company and a disturbing amount of birthdays, it feels like we have been having dicky little cake ceremonies almost every day of the week. Now I for one am all for cake, don’t get me wrong. But people, hear my plea. The human body was not meant to ingest this much butter and sugar in this short a time. One might argue that no one forced me to eat all this cake, but then again when faced with the prospect of making conversation at one of these nightmares you can see how stuffing one’s face full of cake quickly becomes the only option available. I am facing the unhappy prospect of being not only perpetually awkward, but fat. If we are going to be fat I propose that we do away with the pretence of ‘birthdays’ and ‘farewells’ altogether and just install a giant vat of molten chocolate (Max Brenner’s style) next to the water cooler and be done with it. Then we can just have our fat and sugar hit in peace without all that unnecessary ‘interaction’.

From the ever funny Billylou over at Insanity and Banality, and so true.
