Once again, without really trying, and in spite of there being no such award, I’ve managed to take out “Employee of the Month” at work.
So now I have this gift token for spending at a local hardware store. I’m not ungrateful, but I’m conscious of the number of people who have nothing, and just starve to death at the same time as we rich people give each other presents for the sketchiest of reasons. Like the Midnight Oil song, Power and the Passion, where “the rich get richer, the poor get the picture.”
Consumerism bah humbug.
