Blues From a Cubicle

Xmas Dysfunction Officeland Style

So today was to have been the holiday luncheon for my group.  Yesterday, several of us were told that our invitation had been revoked.

The fuck you say!

It seems that with all of the supervisory tomfoolery that has occurred lately, those of us who were with out any real supervision (as if we needed any) for five months, are no longer welcome at the holiday luncheon as our supervisor is now back.  Of course, our boss has other things on his minds so he has to have yet decided on anything.

Now, I normally don’t care much for office holiday gettogethers.  But this is just absurd.  There is a principal involved - I mean having your invitation “canceled” at the last minute is pretty tacky (in my book at least).  So of course I was asked to talk to the boss and see if I could find out what we are doing for the holidays.

Here’s what my boss said to me.

“Oh, we’ll discuss that at our next staff meeting”.

Said staff meeting is to be held on Thursday, December 20th.  The second to the last working day before Xmas.

I guess last minute surprises are fun.

Still you would not believe how personally some people are taking this!  I suggested (to calm some down) that our little group just all go our for breakfast next week and come back to the office in time for lunch and let it go at that.

We shall see.

Nonetheless, it is Friday, more snow is due, and life is good.
