Back to work

After any sort of time off it's a worry coming back to work, and so after two weeks it was a considerable worry. But it turned out to be ok - loads of shit piled up but that's not a bad thing - it shrinks time.
What I didn't expect was my cube to be filled with patriotism in the form of a large number of red, white, and blue balloons! A great welcome I'm sure you'll agree, but how could I get rid of them without causing offence? Popping them could easily be construed as an act of anti-American terrorism... or even anti-British terrorism.
Thankfully, a long visit to Git-Mo was avoided when the balloons naturally lined up to imitate the French flag - popping the balloons under those circumstances could not cause complaints from the US or the UK...
But there was another problem: the balloons were highly inflated, and so popping them produced some trouser-filling bangs...
Consequently I had to abandon operation balloon pop, and spend the day surrounded by them.
But I will destroy them silently tomorrow...oh yes...silently...
Muwhahahahahahahahaha etc
