Christmas decorations
Dec. 9th, 2019 07:23 pmThe office Boss brought in a tree & we decorated it today in work.
He managed to get the last tree in Argos (No-one knows where last years tree went).
After we started putting it up it soon became apparent why this was still in the shop. The stand was made of plastic & before we even got it out of the box part of it was broken. It was only a bit from the bottom so we didn't think it would be too bad but it got worse.
As soon as we got the the legs on the stand assemble the bit connecting one of them broke. We got some sellotape to fix it up but be the time we had everything assembled we had to tape up 3 of the 4 legs and tape the stand down to stop the tree from leaning over.
Once we got it up and decorated we had used a lot of tape.
Halfway through the morning I heard a creek and thought,'oh, no, it going to fall' & sure enough, as soon as I looked over I see it topple over to fast for me to reach it.
The boss decided to just return the tree. So we took off all the decorations and managed to pack it back into the box it came in.
After lunch the boss managed to get a new tree from a different shop. This one had a metal stand so that was good.
Unfortunately it was a fancy one that was covered in glitter.
That's not going to come out of the floor for about 6 mounts.
We got it up an decorated though, so that's good.
