Evil, evil, evil

Woke up in seasonal panic this morning, as I now have under a week to complete Christmas shopping. Spent much of the day listening to assorted Xmas Muzak: came home and found a whopping tax bill, and no calls from slimy recruitment agents.
Decided to shop some more to cheer self up. Matalan. Cheap and cheerful, except the cheer was very, well, seasonal.
Then an ex-colleague rang me. Apparently my ex-manager (the one who terminated me) and his boss and the other RMS manager have all been made redundant.
Oh joy! In fact, bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ....
Buoyed by schadenfreude* I went ahead and shopped as though the recession was as over as they said it was last year.
Am evil, and that is its own reward.
* which I am pleasantly surprised to find that I can spell correctly, despite not being able to remember a single occasion on which I have written it down.
