YOUR colleague who witnessed the Aurora Borealis at the weekend is treating everyone to a once-in-a-lifetime display of smugness, it has emerged.
The entire office has had its breath collectively taken away by the dazzling, awe-inspiring spectacle of self-satisfaction by Tom Booker, who happened to go out into the garden at the right time.
Colleague Helen Archer, aged 36, said: “I can’t believe how lucky I am. What a show Tom put on. Definitely something to tell the grandkids.
“People usually have to go away for two weeks, at great expense, for a self-congratulatory extravagazana like the one Tom provided. But here it is, in our office, on a Monday morning. That’s that life goal miraculously ticked off the bucket list.”
Martin Bishop from HR added: “At first I thought I was hallucinating. There’s no way I was actually looking at the hypnotic, shit-eating grin of someone who saw the Northern Lights right here next to me. That just doesn’t happen.
“The smugness was radiant, flickering, ever-changing, almost unearthly. It was even more stunning than when Amanda married the millionaire or when Josh says he doesn’t have a TV. I’ll remember it for the rest of my life.
Booker said: “Yeah, I saw them both nights. Although by Sunday the novelty had worn off somewhat.”
