getting ready for one of the events of the year, the christmas party at work (yes yes, it’s early…), it dawned upon siggimus that he was about to break a promise he had made himself at the same function some 3 years earlier
siggimus hadn’t bought a new silly tie
should a colleague discover this, it could have drastic consequences
so, in an attempt to draw attention away from the fact that he was wearing the sheep tie again, siggimus mutilated his face with his trusted but dusty razor, cf. picture below
not all noticed it at first, actually, but an alarming lot of people sorta half-complimented him 😐
maybe siggimus should try this look for a few years?
so, food was eaten, drinks drunk, funs had & quite a number of pictures taken
in the anonymous gift-giving ceremony, siggimus gets the greatest of all imaginable presents, a mooing alarm clock
but!!
batteries not included!!
what kind of evil monster would do such a thing?
so, siggimus complains vociferously about this to his neighbours & tells them he will declare during anonymous gift-giving ceremony announcements that the perpetrator has 3 weekdays to undo his/her bad
after a bit of strutting about, scaring people off with the shape of his facial hair, taking pics & drowning his sorrows in a bit of smuggled-in 12yo macallan, siggimus returns to his seat & finds that a miracle has happened!!
ok, it was a relatively small miracle. minuscule, to tell truth, but a miracle nonetheless
a pack of 4 batteries was sitting on the table, next to the alarm clock!!
so upon the anonymous gift-giving ceremony announcement, the ceo (& 2 seats down neighbour) tells all to be super quiet for siggimus’ announcement of his gift. while others were limited to ‘i got …’ & a short demonstrative wave, siggimus was not cut off from a lengthier tale & a bit of mooing (siggimus must say that he suspects the old man may have had a hand in the whole thing)
well, on to thorvaldsen bar for a wee drink & a small scene where petersen suddenly shows up with blood on his shirt. turns out that he was hit on the head with a bottle. this freaks everyone out, especially bára, who seems to be having a breakdown
after all this is sorted; the injured ones taken to hospital & the rest go on partying, siggimus escorts malla home & is invited for a bit of whiskey & a chat
chatting continues until 7 am when siggimus takes taxi home, realising he has an appointment with the chinamen & their wicked jam jars at 12 😐
