More Brainfart and Inadvertent Intolerance
than Brain Fade, but you get what you pay for.

Staff meeting yesterday. The theme was Harmony Day - as this week was Harmony Week. The boss made us all take a number then we had to go and sit in the corresponding seat. We then had to share some information with the person next to us about ourselves that they didn't already know. We then had to share that information with the group. You can see where this is going right?

First pair - Krystal and Demi. Krystal tells us that Demi is an only child, adopted and Nepalese.
"Which is the same as Indian - as you can see." Krystal says, gesturing at Demi. Demi's skin colour is a few tints off stained mahogany.
Next up is Carla and Janice. Janice tells us how Carla was born and raised in South Africa. "As you can see." Janice gestures towards Carla who is a large middle-aged white woman.
Then it's mine and my partner Chloe's turn. Chloe tells everyone how I was born in Zambia in Africa. "As you can see." Chloe motions towards me. I am a fat, 40 yo. white guy.

Fucking Harmony Day - who thinks this shit up? Someone, somewhere actually earnt some money for coming up with that concept. But I haven't even got to the kicker yet!

Andy has asked his partner Doreen to tell us all that he is living as a gay man and is in a long term committed relationship with a bloke he met last month. Doreen was quite reticent to do so and had to check with Andy repeatedly if this was ok. Andy was adamant that he wanted everyone to know. His aunt Krystal nearly falls off her seat and cannot stop herself from uttering the phrase - "Oh shit!".

And then we had our staff meeting!

Length - longest 40 odd min. meeting I've ever had to sit thru. Something tells me we won't be having Harmony Day next year.
EDIT: When I get hold of the minutes I am more than happy to post them.

Minutes of a staff meeting?
Oh man! This might be just the injection of comedy that this place needs!
