Hello!
This week at Erect & Tile witnessed a flurry of unexpected events, reminding us once again that there's never a dull moment in our office. From a tussle with an innocent birdwatcher to a meeting room debacle involving neon green grout, it's all going on this week!
Things started off innocently enough as Douglas stalked the office perimeter on his usual hourly safety check. As he turned a corner, he spotted a suspicious looking figure lurking in the shadows. The figure appeared to be looking through a pair of binoculars straight in to the Erect & Tile offices. Thinking this could be the culprit who responsible forleaving chocolate cupcakes with sinister messages, Douglas raced over to confront the suspect however, his noble intentions quickly spiralled into a comedy of errors.
While attempting to grab the binoculars from the suspects grip, he knocked them into the road and into the path of an oncoming car, crushing them beyond repair. Even more embarrassingly the suspect turned out to be an innocent birdwatcher, drawn to our area by a Facebook post which claimed a pair of rare tits had been spotted nesting here. The embarrassment was palpable, tensions flared as apologies were exchanged beside the crushed binoculars.
Meanwhile, a cloud of suspicion still hangs over Steve, sparked by the discovery on his desk last week. Though no concrete evidence linked him to the cufflink found there, Alice has found herself grappling with doubts, straining the once-solid foundation of trust between them. Their ongoing dispute spilled into the weekly team meeting, culminating in a surreal showdown involving neon green EnticiGrip© grout being squirted around and a lot of shouting. Donna has been acting as a mediator between them, with the hope of finding their way back to the close friendship they had before
the drama.
Polly, who returned to the office this week, and I stumbled upon a discovery that left us both shocked and confused. Whilst searching for the Erect & Tile branded bone china teacups, essential for impressing visiting clients, we unearthed a hidden stash of Costco chocolate cupcakes hidden deep within the office kitchen cupboards.
The shock of finding two missing cupcakes from the twelve-pack raised eyebrows and suspicions, prompting a top-secret meeting between Josh, Polly and myself at Gretal's café to dissect the mystery. Could this mean that the culprit is someone within our office walls? Is there an infiltrator within our ranks?
Next week we have a local school student joining us for work experience. Beyond the chaos, this opportunity promises to showcase the industry's potential to the next generation while offering a fresh perspective on our ongoing conundrum. Polly, Josh, and I have brainstormed a task for the student in the hopes of shedding light on the mysterious occurrences in our office. With our collective efforts, we aim to uncover the truth behind what's really going on.
See you next week
