graculusThe resident shirker has left the building. A number of us had warned our boss that he wasn't to do anything at the Christmas lunch (very nice, despite the odd vegetable-seafood confusion previously described) that the shirker was attending as his final work obligation on pain of death.
The end result, though I sadly didn't get to witness it, was said shirker stomping about and throwing his toys out of the pram that nobody had got him anything despite having 'worked' with us for over 4 years. Not true. My boss, feeling guilty about the amount of loathing the shirker had caused, had got him a bottle of wine and a card, which he was going to pretend was from the rest of us. However the shirker stomped out before he could do so and is probably now telling anyone who wants to listen (and anyone else who can't get away fast enough) how mean we are.
Of course, if we all didn't know that he'd given our boss a list of complaints about most of us (which said boss intends to roundly ignore) just a couple of days ago, then we might be feeling a little guilty too. Pfffft. I just wish I'd had the chance for a parting shot. ;)
