A quick glance around the office shows only the Kylie calendar (June is particularly… lickable*), and none of the motivational calendars that seemed to feature at previous workplaces. This is possibly due to the fact that I no longer work for a larger multinational (read: American) corporation. I miss those calendars, with their stunning photography and little quotes to get you through the day.

So it was with great joy that I came across Despair Inc. who provide calendars and notepad packs and suchlike, all featuring those self same photographs and some ‘thoughtful’ slogans, for example:

Motivation: If a pretty poster and a cute saying are all it takes to motivate you, you probably have a very easy job. The kind robots will be doing soon.

Fantastic! Buy one for YOUR office now!!
