A Presentiment of Disaster
Ah, yes. ‘Tis the season for office party planning. Not for the party itself, you understand, but for the brave organising souls to inform the rest of the office when/where the party is, what will occur therein, and how many wheelbarrows will be laid on to remove the bodies at the end of the night.
The arrangements for our party were emailed around today, and I present to you 2 sentences contained within that mail. Read them and see if you can guess why I will be checking my life insurance before the party starts:
1) “Drinks reception with bottled beer, red wine and Kir Royale cocktail, unlimited spirits, beers, wines, soft drinks served throughout the event.”
…
2) “There is unlimited use of Dodgems from 22.00 - midnight.”
