There has been a long running joke here at the office about the “Employee of the Month”. There are only four of us and one is the wanker, so the pool is small.
For Christmas the graphic designer, an eccentric Polish woman who requires a whole blog post on her own, made me a present.
She hand made me an award for every month of 2008. On each “award” is the month, my name and the words, Employee of the Month.
I decided to don them a la Michael Phelps and email it to some people in the company. Your Christmas present from me? A picture of me with my “awards” and a muffin top I didn’t have when I got dressed in the morning. WTF?!?
HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!!
CUE THE EXCESSIVE EATING & DRINKING.

Merry Christmas, Josie!
Jen’s right, Josie=champion. By New Year’s Day, I should have a muffin top that wouldn’t look out of place on Godzilla. You know, when he’s PMSing and stomping the crap out of Tokyo.

Ooh, I like your awards. That’s really charming! I like the idea that at least one of your co-workers acknowledges your many talents.
Alison – your post reminds me of how I’ve been feeling for a couple of weeks. And I thought it was just withdrawal symptoms. Bring me Tokyo!
Merry Christmas J!
