Ahh the work Christmas do! Dylan is showing off his jaunty silk tie. This is after he combed his hair with a fork. Apparently that's how they do it in the West Country. See the guy behind him? We think he might have been a pimp. Seriously.

This picture disturbs me so much. I came around to chat to a work colleague and this was on the desk behind him, standing up just like this. I'm hoping the person bought it as a gift for someone, but honestly I can't be too sure! There's a huge poster inside of it too. *shudder*

Clearly I was at a loss for a picture today. My work mates suggested I take a picture of Sam's little collection he has going on his desk. His girlfriend brings him stuff back from work fairs, so besides Stampy and Stapley (who isn't as mean as his eyes let on), you'll find an array of stress relievers and a calculator that flips itself open with one touch of the button. Oh, and the paper clip holder that looks like a faucet. That one is my favorite!

Raul was a total Scrooge when some of the girls at work were decorating the office for Christmas. So we decorated his desk for him while he was at lunch. Here he is talking on his freshly tinseled phone.

I was getting something off the printer at work and I saw this. I thought it was hilarious! Can you tell I work at a government agency??

I was in Sheffield for work. This is the view from my hotel. It was pretty nice!

Today was Jeans for Genes day. It's supposed to be a fun day where everyone who normally wears suits to work gets to wear jeans and you raise money for charity. Well, we can wear jeans everyday, so they thought it would be fun if people dressed up instead. Here is a picture of some colleagues! Tom bought a monocle for the occasion, but I guess by the end of the day his eye was bruised, so he had to hold it up!

It was my colleague (they make fun of me when I say coworker) Kelly's birthday last week. We celebrated today in our team meeting. She loved the big button we made her wear. The little drawing behind her is a picture of her wearing the t-shirt we bought her. It's currently on backorder, so this is what she got. The t-shirt is printed with a quote from the Princess Bride, Kelly's favorite movie! She'll tell you all about it if you'd like. Laura is the other person in the picture. She made a kick ass chocolate cake for the big celebration!

I had a meeting today at the British Academy in London. The BA and the Queen are neighbors!

Hard at work at the divisional picnic. How many of you have seen your manager on the monkey bars??

My coworkers and I were discussing one of our contacts and apparently I was going on and on about how he is such a nice guy, blah blah. Well, they started accusing me of having a secret crush on him and one of them actually made this picture. For the record, he is a nice guy and no, I don't have a crush on him!

It was my turn to bring the cakes to the team meeting!

This is my other coworker, Jo. Clearly she's not shy at all! She likes to hear my American stories...about sitting on the back deck, grilling out, my days at band camp, talking about my mom (as opposed to mum). She told me the other day that I'm probably some kind of impostor because there's no way that one person can possess all my American stereotypes. Ha!

This is my coworker, Kelly. She's not as shy as this picture is making her out to be!

My stapler at work is a girl. She's getting a lot of action these days.

My window view at work. Nice, huh?
