Public Sector Santa: The Office Christmas Party – Hydra 2012[/color]
[color=#0000BF]General Manager - [/color][color=#800000]Jon Ball[/color]– Old and old fashioned patriarch of the Ministry. Where’s that coffee, love?
[color=#000080]2IC-[/color] [color=#800000] Malcolm Harbrow[/color] - 2nd in charge and a long standing workhorse of the ministry. No nonsense and straight to the point. The government is your life and the ministry’s problems are yours to solve.
[color=#000080]CFO –[/color] [color=#800000]Paul Wilson[/color] CFO of HACK. A high flyer with a few troubles. A family man who’s been around. Lately he hasn’t been able to engage fully with his workload. Why is that?
[color=#000080]Accountant-[/color] [color=#800000]Donna Giltrap[/color]– Dependable Backbone of the finance team. Is it just me, or am I the only one still working?
[color=#000080]Health and Safety Officer- [/color] [color=#800000]Bryn Jone[/color]s – Procedural stickler for the benefit of the Ministry and keeper of the keys (be they civil defence cabinets or emergency buckets). Not that they’ll be an emergency…
[color=#000080]IT –[/color] [color=#800000]Stacy Nylund[/color] Young but capable head of IT ….Being somewhat young and somewhat good looking, you somewhat like to party, and are somewhat way over your head. But shhh, no one needs to know. And you’re young. You must know computers right?
[color=#000080]Marketing Guy– [/color][color=#800000]Luke Smilie[/color] - Young High flying executive of the marketing world. Has there ever been anyone in an office as suave and as you? Answer: Never. According to you. You are the essence of cool and you know it. Hell-o ladies.
[color=#000080]Senior Cleaner -[/color] [color=#800000]Nick O Keefe[/color] – A friendly Complete Property Services and Hygiene manager who’s close to retirement and has seen it all. Literally. All of it. And the ones that did it. Come on junior, we have work to do tonight.
[color=#000080]Junior Cleaner -[/color] [color=#800000]Ben Wylie-van Eerd[/color] – Very religious and very respectable young man. Did someone say he plays Super 15 rugby? You could try and get a piece of him…but he might be taking you home to meet his mother.
[color=#000080]Communications Officer –[/color] [color=#800000]Matt Swain[/color] The mouth, ears and eyes of the ministry…in an ideal Ministry…which HACK isn’t. Must be time to find a wife. A second wife. The first one ripped out your heart with a rusty butter knife and fed it to her Alsatians. Time to find a real peach.
[color=#000080]Executive Assistant – [/color] [color=#800000]Sarah Lyne[/color] EA assisting the GM and his right hand “lady”. Prets much an awesome job: you just wear low tops and like push paper round your desk and that…and they pay you and everything.
[color=#000080]Government Advisor –[/color] [color=#800000]Daphne Cohen[/color] A highly intelligent, highly driven and highly capable woman. Will it advance my career? Then I’ll do him! I mean ‘it’.
[color=#000080]HR Engagement Officer –[/color] [color=#800000]Nick Cole[/color] Life and soul of the Ministry. Is it just me or am I the only one in HR with my phone not on divert? Typical.
[color=#000080]HR Recruitment Officer -[/color] [color=#800000]Rebecca Harris[/color]– Networked social butterfly and a people’s person. If the Ministry had a head cheerleader it would be HR Recruit…according to HR Recruit. It’s time to teach your co-workers how they too can be cool. But not quite as cool as you. Obviously.
[color=#000080]Personal Assistant -[/color] [color=#800000]UNCAST[/color] –PA who’s a motivated go getter… at least when it comes to going and getting a better job… like the EA’s job. Professional to a tee, unlike some who’re only professional to a wet tee-shirt. You’ll show them.
[color=#000080]Private Secretary –[/color][color=#800000] Brooklynne Kennedy[/color] Ministers extremely intelligent, extremely dedicated and extremely well manicured left hand. There’s no wedding ring tan….yet.
[color=#000080]Senior Receptionist –[/color] [color=#800000]Nasia Alevizos[/color] Old Stalwart and cornerstone of the support team. You’re the ‘Director of First Impressions’ actually. These young’ns need teaching. You’ve seen it all and it’ll all be fine…as long as nothing changes.
[color=#000080]Junior Receptionist –[/color] [color=#800000]Alice Turnbull[/color] Bubbly and vivacious 18 yr old receptionist. Flirting’s like totally part of your job eh….and you want to be good at your job.
[color=#000080]Researcher-[/color] [color=#800000]Catherine Pegg[/color] –highly educated, Opinionated, overworked, under appreciated and over stressed. Is it just me or does no one see what’s about to go down here?! You’re a storm cloud and it’s time to rain.
[color=#000080]Team Administrator -[/color][color=#800000] Leonie Reynolds[/color] –indispensable team player. Can you fix it? Yes you can – be it broken stapler (insert staples) or requests from your beloved Social Club. Very very beloved. You are, after all, the Social Club president. Lucky no one wants to challenge you for president as you have something else on your mind.
[color=#000080]The Mailman – [/color][color=#800000]Scott Kelly[/color] Just the regular mailman. An old guy who doddles about and delivers your mail.
[color=#000080]The Meeter –[/color] [color=#800000]Nick Pitt [/color]Long standing employee of the ministry. Isn’t he? He’s always exceptionally busy. Busy busy busy.
Yours sincerely,
Hannah McKie
