Fine choice
I will sing anything, anywhere, badly.

I've been walking around work today singing "Just a spoonful of sugar" from Mary Poppins.

Possibly because there are very strong suggestions now that we have a buyer and we may not all be getting made redundant in January.

Just rumours
But credible rumours.

And if the rumours are right we'll be going into good hands.

This was always going to be my job until I retire - I only started with the company 4 years ago but finally, at nearly 41, I've found a job that I really enjoy.

More to the point, it might mean that we can keep the staff too.

I don't know. Don't ask me difficult questions.
I work for Grattan/Freemans.

You can no longer wank over the underwear pages in the catalogues, because there won't BE any more catalogues.

.
Maybe the reason for this is that as more and more people discover Internet pr0n, the need for underwear catalogues has become reduced. Yet another forgotten victim of progress...

Not really.
I've let good people go and maybe we'll need them back again.

Nothing about this entire process makes me feel good.

If I've taken anything out of this, it's that being management is hell.

True that about management being hell
Was once involved in a small start-up that failed. If there's anything I learned out of that experience, it's the role that upper management play.
