I gave something bad this year. Year after year, I put in effort
and people sorta took for granted. So this year, I didn't get
anything for anyone. I am worn down, tired and near dispair from
work and by the people around me.. I no longer can care
anymore..
Its my office gift exchange that I got a lousy gift. The colleague
who I guess will never be close, asked for a collector's toy :
grumpy bear from carebear series. It was out of the budget by 30
buck and most of them made in china- ugly as hell and badly made.
Ebay quotes everything at about USD40 without shipping. Office gift
exchange is $10. So I don't know if the guy's that dumb that he
failed maths or does not know he is asking for something that
expensive. Yes, the small ugly bear cost S$40 bucks. The bigger
more decent looking one is S$70 in the shop he told me to go. So I
bought the guy a gift voucher and stuffed paper into the package.
But I felt paper was boring so I squeezed it into a bear-shape..
Left him a note about the bear.
Anyways, its just a office gift exchange and if this beng of a
colleague is to pick on me, I can show him the pictures of the
price tag I took. And for my office gift exchange, I didn't want
people to run around the country buying colleactor's item. I asked
for car park coupons for my husband.
