Even though nobody else is allowed to bring their kids into the office out of convenience, every staff member at a local Betoota business is pretending that having their boss’s child at work is a highlight of their day.

With a snot-nosed little fuck marching through the workplace corridors, an entire salesroom at the local skip bin rentals are currently awwwwing and ohhhing like they have just witnessed a baby lamb stand up for the first time.

Kay McGrath has been general manager at the company’s head office for over five years now, and her 3-year-old son has been coming in for ‘afternoon visits’ since he was old enough to open his eyes.

Shelley from accounts says that while she understands the workload his mum is carrying, she doesn’t sympathize with her enough to forgive her for making the entire office play the role of spot-parents while she has a coffee downstairs.

“I’ve got three kids at home with a husband in the mines. I think she would be able to manage without bringing that little shit in here”

However, a 19-year-old temp by the name of Nick says the kid is so cool and he just loves his job.

“I love having him around. He’s so funny”

“The way he yells quotes from Pepper Pig at me and pulls stuff off the table [laughter] he’s such a rascal”

Kay says she’s sorry but she couldn’t find a babysitter so Jordie will be floating around most afternoons this week. You won’t even notice him.
