Years reolutions achievements who we are and apology

Sorry for the long gap between postings. I didn't have access to a PC for a lot of Christmas and like a moron managed to fall over in the snow and sprain my wrist. It's still sore so please excuse the lateness of this post!

Kate's resolutions for 2010:
  1. Do not kiss any more work colleagues, once can be forgiven, twice perhaps
  2. suggests the need to stop drinking three times is just office suicide. Do not do it
  3. Find a way to get back at Fishy and ideally destroy the photographic evidence of one of the above indiscretions...
  4. Be nice to Ted for the first few weeks. We have work evaluations coming up.
  5. Stop falling over.
  6. Arrive on time - or at least before half nine.
  7. Try and avoid flashing anyone.
Actually the last two would be a good guide for life not just the office Even I can do this right? So the achievements (I use achievements lightly) of last year included:
  • The thong incident...
  • The infamous Christmas party
  • Throwing up on a flasher
  • Annoying Ted on many many an occasion
  • Not getting fired.

And finally a little reminder of who everyone is...
Kate: That's me!

Jay – The CEO – a complete snob who loves to talk down to you.

Andi – American admin manager.

Jamie –The cute sales man who likes to smooth talk - has a LOT of girlfriends.

Rob – Salesman and extreme charmer approach with caution - he is leaving in two weeks time.

Ethan – The office big brother, hard working and nice - what is he doing here?

Fishy - The new recruit - an older sales man who likes to mock the rest of us mercilessly. He and I do not get on.

Simon: Sales junior, sweet and nice but too desperate to prove he is not a total innocent at the moment and not single....

Ted - A.k.a Mr Motivator. Oh dear.

May – Sensible and on occasions scary. Rob and Jamie are bother terrified of her. I think she is great.

Stee - Graphic designer.

Laura - Poor accountant who is stuck working alone with Jay. Very scatty and on the rare occasions she joins us for drinks a lot of fun

    Yes, it's funny how the festive period is such a vacuum.

    This post saves me lot of time spent trawling through past posts to establish character profiles. Neat.

    Happy 2010.

    Hello Kate. I have been reading your blog through my Dad's (Aion) website.

    Truth is, it's hilarious. I work in a small newspaper office and can relate to the hookups/backstabbing/and bitching that you deal with.

    I'm now following you!

    xoxo Nicole :)

    Hey Kate, Nice resolutions...But I think I should have a completely different one for myself...like..
    1. Stop working fast...bcoz I learnt, the more earlier u finish a file, u get more...while the others go forward slowly....with one file...remember none noticed that you are working hard...uhmm..
    2. Use your full 1 hr lunch break...by being back before the 1 hr will not be noticed by anybdy...and the day u take 2 mts more than 1 hour, u r pierced with staring looks...uhmmm
    3. Spend lot of time in the washroom...even if u have no business in there, still just enjoy the ethnic beauty u can see from the full length glass wall of the washroom...
    4. Always look behind before typing any blog comments...u never know, who has an extra eye on ur monitor...
    5. Even if you reach the office a bit late in the morning, in the evenings never be late to leave...

    and soo onnnnnnn....

    Kate, hope ur wrists are fine...Happy New Year
