HAL

at last we have a date for the big announcement at work. It is a well known secret that HAL are buying us and we have all been summoned to the other office next week to hear this in person.
Now to hear some of the people in this office talk you would think they've been asked to chew off their own feet. "I don't see why we have to go" "I don't want to go"...etc. The company is laying on a bus to ferry us all there and we get lunch too. This constitutes the first freebie from the management monkeys in about 2 years. The last freebie being a revolting and badly fitting corporate shirt.

So what's the problem with everyone? We've been begging the management monkeys to sell the company to someone with an iota of common sense for years now - show some enthusiasm guys. So you have to get up a bit earlier to get the bus, for christsakes it's hardly the end of the world and you never know, they may sack the current CEO before our very eyes.

I would pay money to see that.
