Your Worst Christmas Gift Ever

[Bongo Lewi]

I'll start.

My first year on the job after graduating, working my ass off doing crazy hours and traveling constantly. Barely able to pay for my living expenses in NYC. The Big Boss's secretary was as old as Methuselah. She sent me and a handful of my fellow new hires a Mannheim Steamroller CD. Christmas songs. I would have used it as a coaster but I didn't have a coffee table.

Gee, thanks Grandma. That's my favorite singing group. Next to Johnny Rotten and the Sex Pistols.

The front line managers and Big Giant Heads all got huge bonuses, made on the profits from the billable hours their young directs brought in.

In case anybody was wondering. Manheim Steamroller. Every 22 year old's favorite band in the late 80s. Because Moms and fat old guys were a thing. I heard that at their live concerts men and women alike were whipped into such a frenzy they threw their Depends on the stage.

LOL! Ummm.... not this 22 year old in the late 80s.

Not the worst Christmas but it reminds me of a Christmas dinner party I went to with my GF at the time. They were celebrating a co-worker leaving the office only she wasn't invited. 30 lobsters between the 6 of us! Trying to eat lobster without getting it all over you is a lesson in futility.
