So at work today I see a slip of paper in my box saying I am so and so's secret santa. I have to bring a $15 gift by such and such date.
WHAT? I never agreed to this! Don't get me wrong, I love to buy gifts, but this year we cut out buying gifts for each other, our siblings, our friends, cousins (usually in a drawing)... so to now have to buy a gift for someone I met like 15 minutes ago really bothers me! Before assigning me a person I feel I should have been asked. I have MANY more people I would rather buy a gift for...
And since only 12 people work there, I feel silly bringing anything up and it's only $15, but still! That's not the point. I just am annoyed at this! It seems silly and I feel I should have been asked first!
Also today I informed my boss (more than 2 months in advance) that I would need a week off in february for a medical procedure that wouldn't be scheduled until the week before (work schedule is done 3 weeks in advance) and since I needed 2-3 days to recoup, I would just need the whole week off but was willing to work the weekends.
He seemed annoyed! I work 15 hours a week and it's a medical procedure!!! For goodness sakes! I explained it came up since I got the job otherwise I would have told him before... but seriously?
Anyways, I LOVE my new job, don't get me wrong, but these two things today really irked me!

It's so astonishing .... bosses. Humph. Mine just missed the whole "understanding" gene. You'd think he'd get it when I call off today and tomorrow b/c I had another m/c - when HE HIMSELF (and wife) went through YEARS of infertility problems.
I just don't get some people! Hopefully your boss will understand come February.
That's dumb! I mean, seriously, that's CRAP!! I'd probably find the cheapest $15 present I could b/c I'd be so ticked off. How about going to a craft store (do you have Michael's where you live?) and getting a cute tin or something like that (very cheap) and then filling it with Christmas candy and cookies? A couple years ago the cooking bug bit me hard around the holidays and I made SO MUCH candy and sweets... I took a box to three of our neighbors and they loved it! :)
