The Perils of the Liquid Lunch
It's Melbourne Cup Day!
The race that stops the nation has definitely stopped our workplace, as we all crowded around the TV to watch three minutes of horsies running around in a circle. The only intelligent comment I can make is that I'm very sad that Blutigeroo didn't win, because he had the best name. *nods*
The current subject of contemplation in the office is whether the boss should go and fetch a ladder so he can change the blown light bulbs on the high ceiling, as he rather unwisely promised he would while he still had his champagne glass in hand.
I'm voting yes. :)

Let it be known that I generally throw a couple of dollars into the sweep just to get them to leave me alone, but I categorically refuse to stop everything to watch the race. (If I'm alone in the office I'll probably stop everything and sit with my feet on the desk till the race is over, but I refuse to go into whatever meeting room they've rigged up a TV just to watch horses running for 3 minutes...)

And it's not like it's any more boring than any of the other sports I'm forced to watch...
