Something Bad This Way Comes

El Jefe paced back and forth in front of his staff. We were all gathered in a small room.

Once upon a time we would have needed a bigger room but not now. Not since we had adopted a dynamic resourcing model with the intelligent use of business partnerships.

We must be SMARTer in how we approach challenges.

Said El Jefe in a curious singsong voice as if a lady was gently nibbling at his roary biscuit.

We must...

He paused, looking skyward for a moment as if his old mum was egging him on.

We must be bold.

He took it in turns to look us in the eye, one by one. It wasn't hard. There were few of us permanent staff left.

He gave me an extra long look as if still wondering if it was true that I had taken a photo of my very own penis in his Rum and Coke at Christmas.

Maybe...

It would have to be a Christmas night-out ninja who could pull off such a feat surely?

I gave him a Don't worry, I've got your back, Boss-man kind of smile.

He made a grumphing face as if deeply unhappy and moved on.

We must... Be brave...

He leaned forward as if fighting an impossibly strong wind.

I marvelled at how he stayed upright.

Bold and Brave... And SMART...

He bit his top lip and sucked in slightly through his teeth.

Can we do this?

He asked, hopefully rhetorically because no-one answered.

Can we pull together and right this ship?

Ship? The small group that we were looked at each other uneasily. Were we pirates now? Should we be spanking each others bottoms and singing songs about rum?

Erm, hurrah?

I said out loud less than enthusiastically.

El Jefe shot me a venomous look as if I was masturbating into a left-handed mitten.

Then let us be bold... And brave... SMART too but never... Never stupid.

El Jefe bowed his head before shuffling out of the room

What the fuck was all that about?

Asked my mate BinJuice staring after El Jefe.

I shook my head.

Fuck knows mate. Fuck knows. Something's bad's coming though. Something bad's coming...

Sort:  

Tome to get a shit proof coat and smoewhere to hide, the proverbial is about to hit the rotator.

I might buy some of that Teflon paint!!

Does he have a quota of motivational speeches that he has to keep up and he was behind? XD

He might have, it was grand if not vague and strange!!!

I read this article from the bottom to half.
Tried something new. :-)
What was that bad thing ?
Hyper-eosinofile-syndrome !?

Did someone say Eos!!!

What do you mean ?

Hyper-eosinofile-syndrome !?

By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes!

Do Scots have a holiday akin to our fourth of July? I was just reminded that Canucks do just a few days earlier, and like our bro with noname I'm about to be drunk for days myself, woot!

We don't actually, although there is a Scottish one at the end of July, The Fair - traditionally when all the working class folk would travel down the river for their two week holidays. Lol

Your workplace sounds so annoying. And these kinds of "rally the troops" meetings are the worst.

They have them or a flavour of them almost every day. Meh

Right the ship? Is this a real meeting sir meesterboom? Well this was 6 days ago, anything happen since then?
Great artwork! lol.

All has been quiet, just the odd rumbling about cuts!

Sounds typical, seems like businesses are always talking about cuts!
