Tales of the Employed-but-not-enjoying-it-much Part 13 (Work and Wabbits)

Yes yes we know, its been a while but what can we say, we are working girls now. We are now both earning money in interesting fashions, if not necessarily enjoying it entirely. Anyone who has spoken to Hollie will know that a career in IT is most definitely NOT beckoning; the money may be good but it doesn’t make up for mind numbingly painful work, combined with mind numbingly boring colleagues! On the other hand it’s pay day tomorrow so who knows, her frame of mind may take a turn for the better.

All this work and some very hard playing at weekends such as going to media parties, travelling round the country and lots of drinking has meant there is little time for world musing however today there was a break and a flash of inspiration…

Office Rabbits. Sarah’s family have been toying with the idea of getting a rabbit for a while; though we probably won’t get one the idea of having one appeals.

So we were thinking what would happen if you had a pets corner at work like in primary school?

The influence it would have on the work place would be brilliant. For a start, it would make people shout less, because if they shouted it would scare it and then they would feel bad about scaring a poor little rabbit so not shout as much.

Also if anyone was really stressed they could go and stroke the rabbit for a while and it would calm them down and then they could go back to work happy and whistling a merry tune.

You would also need a rabbit monitor and everyone could take it in turns, this would require a rota and everyone getting involved so instantly there would be more communication rather than everyone just sitting at their desks not talking. Screw those expensive bonding weekends organised by the management department just get a rabbit then everyone will get along. Well that’s our theory anyway.

Then if the rabbit went down well you could get a hamster. The options are endless.

On that note there is wine to be drunk and thoughts of rabbits to be had. We’re off to see lovely people in Oxford tomorrow night and seeing more friend type things on Saturday so we’re feeling very popular all of a sudden. Hooray for university holidays and our un-culled friends who are still at uni.

Tales of the Unemployed Part 12 (Doors and Holidays)

Today is an extraordinary day - for the first time in quite a while both of us are in paid employment and will be all week; yes, an entire week of work. However kids, don’t get too excited, Hollie hates her job with the fire of a thousand suns and next week Sarah goes back to earning only three days a week.

In other news, there is more rejection for the team, Hollie's mum thinks Sam's number is up and Sarah literally walked into a door this morning (it really hurt) !!!

However these are all things we don’t want to talk about, on a lighter subject the weekend was jolly good fun with Sarah becoming the dancing queen of Brighton whilst Hollie booked a holiday (as clearly she hasn't had enough holidays recently)! Yippy.

With all this work happening we both realise and apologise for the lack of unemployed musing that used to take place. Frankly I can’t think of anything to muse about but as soon as I do you shall all know about it.

On that note I guess its back to work!
