Orifice Politics

I’m not religious, but I thank God every day for giving me the amazing colleagues I get to work with.

I’ve got to admit that apart from only two very short periods, extraordinary people have surrounded me throughout my working life.

But the cooperation, support and elevation my current workmates give me is unprecedented for me through nigh on five decades in the workforce.

I’m really having the time of my life trying to learn my way around my new role, and am brimming wit gratitude to both my employer and my colleagues for doing everything possible to help me get up to speed.

My boss, perhaps not ironically, was someone I had worked with a quarter of a century ago, and we worked in an office that was full of laughs.

It was there that another of our colleagues taught me about referring to the workplace as the “orifice” instead of the office.

So for all you dirty buggers, get your minds out of the gutter. I was only looking for a catchy title for the post.
