OT-Venting
Shilpa,
I totally understand your frustration with your co-worker and her gift. I never told my co-workers that I had surgery, but they know I don't eat sugar and that I've lost a lot of weight. This morning, I found a gift on my desk. It's a plastic Christmas tree with Whitmans candy inside. There was no name, so I had to ask who it was from. The woman who gave it to me knows better than the rest that I don't eat sugar---her husband is diabetic, and we've discussed sugar substitutes for baking, and she was there when I asked the cafeteria manager to carry sugar-free options. I guess I should be happy that she even thought of me, but I'm not sure there was good intentions behind this gift at all. This person sometimes gets really nasty with me for no apparent reason. One of other co-workers gave gifts to the rest of the women in our group, but not to me. I almost feel like this went beyond lack of thought to just trying to be nasty. I'm shrugging it off---tomorrow is our last day to work here, and hopefully I'll never see these people again.
I do have to admit that I thought about Pam channeling Norm---eating the candy and getting sick on her keyboard. But I think I'll just keep myself occupied today with entertaining thougths like that and just give the candy to someone else.
