It's been a bit of a laugh riot in the office of late, what with the warmer weather and proximity of serious holiday time. So much so that I wondered if there would be anything left to bitch about between the dirty jokes and coffee runs and complete disregard of corporate process in our department. Would this blog become redundant in the face of a bearable work environment? Would I no longer have reason to bitch about anything and have to resort to watching crap tv shows in order to have something to complain about? Did the partners suddenly wake up one day and acquire LOGIC and A SENSE OF HUMOUR???

I shouldn't have worried too much.

I walked into my boss's office yesterday to find a small yellow book sitting on his desk and was informed that this was for me to read to help improve my productivity. Every support staff member in the firm has been given this book.

Welcome to the latest motivational cult called 'Fish'.

Bitching will commence upon conclusion of reading this vile filth. A book review is being written for your pleasure.

I am purchasing a bottle of wine tonight, for nothing else will help digest this patronising piece of literary offal.
