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<\/p>\n
siggimus hadn’t bought a new silly tie<\/p>\n
should a colleague discover this, it could have drastic consequences<\/p>\n
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<\/p>\n
not all noticed it at first, actually, but an alarming lot of people sorta half-complimented him \ud83d\ude10<\/p>\n
maybe siggimus should try this look for a few years?<\/p>\n
so, food was eaten, drinks drunk, funs had & quite a number of pictures taken<\/p>\n
in the anonymous gift-giving ceremony, siggimus gets the greatest of all imaginable presents, a mooing alarm clock<\/p>\n
but!!<\/p>\n
batteries not included!!<\/em><\/p>\n what kind of evil monster would do such a thing?<\/p>\n 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<\/p>\n 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!!<\/p>\n ok, it was a relatively small miracle. minuscule, to tell truth, but a miracle nonetheless<\/p>\n a pack of 4 batteries was sitting on the table, next to the alarm clock!!<\/p>\n 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) <\/p>\n 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 b\u00e1ra, who seems to be having a breakdown<\/p>\n 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<\/p>\n chatting continues until 7 am when siggimus takes taxi home, realising he has an appointment with the chinamen & their wicked jam jars at 12 \ud83d\ude10<\/p>\n
