It’s that time of year again, time to spread the seasonal cheer at office Christmas parties in every corner of the land. We here at Crikey are always keen to read any internal office missives dealing with seasonal arrangements. Forward your worst to boss@crikey.com.au.

Today’s email was sent by an ABC insider who wrote: “WELCOME to the ABC!!!!!! Ultimo Employees were sent this today. I doubt most of us would have time, but it’s good to know basket weaving is alive and well here… if only they’d bring back the tea ladies.”:
