Even our computer desktops match the decor. I'm surrounded by so much red and green, in such eyewatering combinations, that I'm starting to pray for spontaneous

I love the smell of Christmas rants in the morning. Smells like schadenfreude. :D

[scrooge_scratch]

Glad to furnish some amusement. Just pray you never wind up in a job this hellish yourself.

[scrooge_scratch]

Uncooked egg sitting out at room temperature all day? That couldn't possibly end badly (no pun intended. Or maybe it is).
