Apt...

A scorpion in a crowd is harmless, it knows it is outnumbered so it retreats to the corner and observes its surroundings. But end up alone with one next to your bed... It's a different story...

- Not my own work but it is apt

Decorations

A candle showcase?


Jitterbug!

Head is clogged due to flu but I am determined to press on with my prep for a Shiny-rific day(s)!!
First on the agenda, in no particular order, the decorations and additions to the day with little extras. Above is purely for illustrative purposes only but it's getting the ball rolling, at least in my head :)

Flu-be-gone!

How effective is positive thought? I have successfully kept my scratchy throat at bay today by repeatedly telling myself that it will go away... that, and to drown the mindless chatter of colleagues... that too had gone away!

Sitting with my feet up with a cup of green tea... Utter blissilicious :D

Entry One

Two words.

Work politics.

Everyone has it, sure, but there's no one way to deal with it.

Character 1: the Sycophantic Over-compensator, for brevity SO. SO is at every office, it's the one person you can count on to jump like a puppy begging for treats when the boss is around. SO is also an expert at avoiding substantial work at any cost. SO utilises coffee breaks and the ruse of arranging office events to avoid any real work. BUT don't get me wrong, SO WILL get in early and leave late to ensure the powers that be take note of SO at the desk... poor hard working SO... browsing the internet for hats... or whatever else that happens to be the favour of the day.

Character 2: the Fake Friend, like above FF. FF is ready with a stretched smile and cold prying embrace searching for tiny morsels of information that can be divulged as soon as you turn away. You know who I'm talking about... You don't know? Oops...

Character 3: the PONCE. No abbreviation here, we wouldn't want to underplay the Ponce! Not sure about you but mine is definitely a Mr-I-Act-Like-I-Know-It-All-But-Please-Don't-Corner-Me-With-Questions.
