Today is Jo’s last day at the office, and you would not believe the amount of cakes she has brought in to commemorate this truly tragic moment. There is even a still-warm apple-cake that she must have baked around 7.30 or so. And home-made chocolate croissants that I’m fairly certain you gave to be up at about 4 a.m. to look after because fresh butter has to be rolled-in then.
She looks a bit tired and harassed. But then she’s very disappointed not to be made permanent. We all thought she would be, because Julia, who had gone off on maternity leave. and who she was covering for, announced she wasn’t coming back after all. (Her husband is a doctor and they’re all moving to his new practice in Scotland.) The firm says they won’t be filling her job for the moment. I find this ominous. Along with the news that they’ve cancelled the Christmas party.

Cancelled the Christmas party? Letting one position go?
Cow just hopes that with these cutbacks everyone else is safe.
Topiary feels for Scones with her chocolate temptations. Wonder if management was trying to diet, and that's why she was let go?
Moo!
Dear Topiary, yes, i hope the cutbacks make everyone else safe. It is worrying though. Love from scones xx
