NOTICEBOARD
A large board placed somewhere in the office, where administrative-
type people place important notices that no-one ever reads. Also the
location of very bad cartoons on the subject of office life, pinned
up by the office wag. [See wanker.] 97% of office workers ignore
these, and instead find their entertainment in the Gary Larson
calendar that at least one person per office has on their desk[*].
This desk will become a focal point for meeting throughout the
year, where from will be heard guffaws aplenty[+], except from the
person who actually sits at that desk, who will wish that everyone
will piss off so they can do some work.
[*] Yes, it's me this year.
[+] Accompanied by cries of "oh isn't he great!" and "how is he
so imaginative!"

RECEIPT
Proof of the purchase of goods. There are two distinct types of
receip
- the receipt that sits in your wallet for the best part of a
year before you clean it out, and then pops up again regularly
for the rest of your life, in desk drawers, stuck in books as
bookmarks, or attached to the fridge with a magnet
- the receipt that you think you put safely somewhere, but can't
find when the goods that you bought falls apart/breaks down/
causes you to want to return the goods, for whatever reason....
