We got this from the head of tech services at work. It's gone down like a lead balloon... Any sugestions? Everyone's scared it's going to count to performance reviews...

All,

To lighten up the end to a testing 2005 at <company name> I would like to run a small competition which is MANDATORY for all Tech Serv team members to enter. I have three bottles of alcohol to give away as prizes - 18 Yrs Bottle of Whisky, Some type of fancy Champagne and a Chilean Red Wine.

The rules are simple, by mid-day on the Friday 23rd December 2005 please submit by email to myself in no more than 15 words your answer to the following question:

"What have I, [replace with your own name], contributed to Technical Services this year?"

I'm sure you all have paragraphs to write on the subject but only 15 words are allowed. I shall be reading out all entries and awarding the prizes for the best answers.

Ho ho ho......

Head of Technical Services

I've shown the ability and desire to enjoy an 18 year old bottle of whisky.

15 words exactly.

Zzzzzz... huh? Oops, sorry, I dozed off. What's the question again?

The smart bomb currently heading in your direction boots Slackware. Is this GNU's to you?

Hmmmm, not sure if that's funny.

"Prior planning prevents piss poor performance."

I have to admit, I'd go with CrashedAgain's line about the 18 year old whiskey.

Give me the booze or I'll take your dog and feed it to my crocodile

I've been slipping poison to the head of technical services , he'll be dead very soon.

Superb! Replies so far have really cheered up the office...

THIS project is more worthy of my attention than anything else I've done this year.

I wasted my time on trivial crap sent by some knob who runs the office

I trained the turkeys to attack at the christmas do, they will have their revenge

This is fun, its like haiku's!

got my <self> trapped in the photocopier while xeroxing my back<end> for my performance review

turned the wifi power up so I can warm my lunch without visiting the kitchen
