'Tis the season to be garrotted by tinsel

On the Friday just gone the accounts department stayed late to put up their Christmas decorations. One of the accountants brought in her 3 kids to help with the rennovations. On Monday morning they were were proudly marching through all the offices & inviting everyone to marvel at their decorations.
However, the accounts department has the highest turnover of staff in the company & only one person in that office has ever seen what the IT department is capable of at Christmas (& we think that person is a mute).
Our department's designated decorator has just spent the entire lunch hour pinning up all manner of stars, chandeliers & tinsel. You can't walk a metre without having to duck under something.
He's going to put the rest of the decorations up tomorrow.

Still, who else would decorate a tree with rubber bands and paperclips? Or put a beanie cow on top.
I'm digging myself in deeper aren't I?

It should also be noted in public that last year Nix hung some decorations in front of one of the motion sensors for the alarm system. One weekend my boss was woken by the police & asked to join them as they searched the premises for an intruder.

Oh dear. It's so hard to remain an island of Scroogness amidst the sea of such forced gaiety and joy. Feh.
