A cheerless office


The office atmosphere had a jaded feel about it today rather than the excited “end of term” exuberance one normally anticipates at Christmas.  I’m not sure if it was because austerity measures are really starting to bite, with colleagues feeling there is little to celebrate or that the winter seems to have been particularly long and damp after a fantastic summer of regal jubilation and Olympic euphoria.  Either way, the plastic tray of Greggs’ mince pies taking centre stage as the only festive embellishment in the room seemed an appropriate measure of the joylessness that’s been apparent over recent months
