Apparently our company is experiencing a "spending freeze". In other 
words, no non-essential expenditure.

Fair enough.

As a result, I'm now having to beg for the money to replace a computer 
monitor that has stopped working.

But get a load of this... One of the office bods has just come round 
with a biiiig box of complimentary tea sashets with the company logo on 
them and a pretty orange ribbon. Because we don't know what else to do 
with them.

It's nice to know that the company is too skint to pay for stuff we 
actually need, but there's still plenty of money to blow on ridiculous 
promotional novelties.

(Notice that my company's line of business has absolutely nothing to do 
with tea. I have no idea where we got the tea from, but it smells... 
well, the box says on it "your partner for science", but *damn*, what 
did they put *in* this stuff?? It smells like liquified peppermint...!)
