Great way to start my work week (sarcastic)

Today is my Monday, and I am PISSED OFF. Last week I spent my breaks and between-call time to make a fairly spectacular holiday display at my desk - at the encouragement of Management no less! I was pretty proud of my IncrediPals Holiday Spectacular as I had Santa, an elf, Rudolph and 8 tiny reindeer prancing about my desk. Christmastime had finally arived!

This morning I came in to find my display GONE. Matter of fact, ALL my stuff was gone! Crammed unceramoniously crammed in to boxes beneath my desk. No organization, no care. Just all my stuff, work and non-work related alike, scopped up and shoved away.

This resulted in nearly 30 minutes of Aux Time with my just trying to find a pen and a pad of paper.

But that's not what really pisses me off. What pisses me off is that EVERY OTHER Christmas Display in the call center got to stay up. The shiny garland 2 rows over... the little blinky Christmas tree 4 desks away... EVEN THE STUFFED SNOWMAN ON THE DESK NEXT TO MINE THAT I HAD PUT THERE!!! Why was I specifically targeted? And of course, I won't have any answers from Management till much, much later this afternoon.

I. AM. FURIOUS!!!!

Where they all animated and singing high pitched songs while hooves furiously tapped away?????

Oh I know, there was a nativity scene with a donkey that sang Silent Night in the original German with the Wisemen's camels singing back up???

No, then I bet it was one of them cheap Santa's with one foot in the chimney that belted out on every quarter hour HO HO HO MARRY CHRISTMAS while seeming to disappear down the chimney????

Dude can you blame them? ;-D

Seriously, to be singled out like that, that's just wrong!

I have discovered my DREAM Xmas Display thanks to a commercial that was on the other night for some Christmas thingee in the Tacoma dome or some-such with "The Singing Nativity".

So my dream is an animatronic Nativity, ala "Chuck E. Cheese", all singing "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer". And at the end of the song, when they say "Sing it, graaaandpaaaa..." and then the deep barritone chimes in with the chorus? That's when the Baby Jesus will bolt up-right in his bassinett and start singing along :)

Oh, man!!! I would drive 2 hours and sit in the 4 mile long line to your house to see that! I'd even leave money in the jar to help pay for all the electricity!
