Bonus Christmas question. Whose work is this?

I once had a office job that I found boring and unfulfilling. I spent a long time pondering the same question posed on this thread…do I hand in my notice without any job to go to or not? I was single at the time and renting and these things need to be taken into consideration. Anyway, one day, in November, I woke up and I had a feeling that I needed a change and that something or someone was pushing me for a change. I came close to handing my notice in but got cold feet. I could tell I was unhappy at work, I was putting on weight and not taking pride in my personal appearance. I had an unkempt beard, not one of those hipster ones. A few weeks went on and I was still unhappy, putting on weight and feeling that I should be doing something else. I finally had enough, almost was almost compelled to hand my notice in. So I did, a week before Christmas. I remember going home feeling happy and sad at the same time, excited about the future but worried about life. That night I slept well and the very next day I was headhunted and have been very happy where I am ever since. They have me my own company car, more of a sleigh than a car and a suit to wear, nice and red. They seemed to like the fact that I had put on a lot of weight and encouraged me to keep growing the beard. It was refreshing to come across a company who looked beyond appearances. I have never been so happy and laugh more now than ever before. And the best thing of all is that I only work one day a year and if people are cunts then I get to fuck their year up.
