🌈 Office Camp Colin — The Employee Who Brightens the Entire Building
Colin is the happiest, campest, sparkiest employee in the office—dusting everything in sight while lifting everyone’s mood. A fabulous, essential colleague who brightens the workplace daily.
Colin is, without question, the happiest, zestiest, sparkiest member of the office—and honestly, the entire organisation is better for it.
He might be camp, he might be dramatic, and he might lovingly dust his desk more often than Facilities cleans the carpets, but Colin is essential. Truly. If he ever left, HR would need to open a Support Hotline.
From the moment he steps into the building, Colin radiates happiness. Not normal happiness—Olympic-level, gold-medal, disco-ball happiness. He greets everyone with a beaming smile that makes even the CEO wonder whether he should try smiling too (he shouldn’t; it terrifies people). Colin has a magical ability to lift the mood of anyone he meets. Bad morning? Colin fixes it. Printer jam? Colin pats it and says, “There, there”, until it starts working out of pure emotional guilt.

Colin is as camp as they come, but underneath the glitter is a worker who absolutely excels at his job. He’s reliable, organised, supportive, helpful, and genuinely loves making people’s day a little better. He will do anything for anyone and thinks nothing of it—because that’s simply who he is. Whether he’s offering motivational pep talks, calming down chaotic managers, or helping clueless colleagues attach a PDF to an email, Colin is the quiet glue holding the place together.
But let’s talk about Colin’s favourite hobby:
✨ Dusting down his desk.
Colin dusts like he’s auditioning for a West End musical called Dusty: The Office Edition. He has a bright pink fluffy duster named “Hucus” (he insists it’s short for Hocus-Pocus, because it works magic). He dusts the keyboard, the monitor, the mug, the plant, the stapler, the second mug, the backup mug, and occasionally his own shoulders “because glitter settles everywhere, darling.”

And then there’s his desk décor:
- A Taylor Swift shrine that HR politely pretends not to notice
- A little collection of “flowors” (his spelling, not ours)
- A bottle of Office Glam Mist
- A framed landscape painting he calls “Colin’s Happy Place,” which he stares at whenever someone mentions spreadsheets
Despite the theatrics, Colin is a hard-working superstar. He hits deadlines. He makes teams run smoothly. He defuses conflict faster than Security. He knows every answer, every person, and every bit of gossip before it happens. And his calendar is colour-coded so beautifully that Project Managers have cried.
So why is Colin such an adored office icon?
Because he’s authentic. He makes people feel seen. He creates warmth in a workplace that can sometimes feel colder than the meeting-room air conditioning. Colin is joy incarnate—an instant mood boost wearing a lanyard and dusting his desk like it's a sacred artefact.
If the workplace had awards, Colin would win:
🏆 Most Likely to Make Monday Feel Like Friday
🏆 Best Duster in the Office (Self-appointed, but accurate)
🏆 Most Fabulous Employee 12 Years Running
🏆 Employee Most Likely to Become a National Treasure

In a world of miserable Marvins, Paranoid Pamelas, Cocky Kyle's and managers who think sending an email counts as leadership, Colin is the office hero we desperately need. Sparkly. Camp. Effortlessly kind. And absolutely irreplaceable.
