11 – The Leaving Speech & Just Stuff

It’s good to be back! After a long hiatus the podcast is finally back with two stories to tell you. The first is a leaving speech from a disgruntled employee and the second is a story of revenge that goes wrong. Enjoy!

The Leaving Speech

I wrote this story a while ago, just after I’d left my office job. I actually had lots of friends in teh office and was sad to go, but I was also pleased to be leaving behind some of my former colleagues and this story was aimed at them. There’s some of my genuine feelings mixed into the opinions of the man in the story, only they’ve been exaggerated a bit. I don’t think offices are the worst places in the world, but I’m genuinely not much of a fan of them either.

Just Stuff

This story is about a situation where someone is confronted by the person that stole all their possessions. It’s about revenge and the impact crime can have on a person. There are also some thoughts about violence and masculinity in here too if you look under the surface a little bit.
