Epic White Elephant is so Epic
... I don't even know where to begin. Today was absolutely ridiculous and I hate love it. KLSJFIOGSKL.
I love my people.
- THEY ATE ALL MY CHEESECAKE. I baked an EPIC Oreo cheesecake for today's potluck. It was all eaten... BY SOME OTHER RANDOM PEOPLE. I left the cheesecake in the refrigerator so that it'd be chilled before the party. I didn't know that there was *another* holiday party before ours for the Internal Services department (ie Administrative and Partners). ONE OF THE PARTNERS TOOK MY CHEESECAKE OUT OF THE FRIDGE AND SERVED IT TO EVERYONE.
T_______________________T!!!!
I am glad that they liked it (apparently they kept asking "WHO BROUGHT THIS? IT CAN'T BE HOMEMADE!")... but ahhhhh seeing the empty tin tray in the trashcan. And I didn't even get to... AHHHHHHHHHHH my peoples didn't get to try it. *sadface*
Guess I have to make it again. AND LABEL IT THIS TIME.
- MY COWORKER GOT ENGAGED! Well, he did the asking and his (now fiancée) said yes. It was surprising since... none of us knew he was dating? XD But it was sweet because he apparently met her through friends 8 years ago. They dated once, but then he moved out here. Randomly they were set up again. They didn't realize until they met face to face that they went out before. So, it seems to be fate :) And she works for the greater good (read: SAVES NEEDY CHILDREN). It's funny because we all want to meet her, which is something family members would do xD
Wedding probably in July or after September 15. We joked that he probably proposed with, "Would you like to file a joint tax return?"
- I GOT PRESENTS! I got a COOKIE BIBLE recipe book, Angry Little Girls book, and The Office 2009 desk calendar. When new!Coach saw my gifts, he said, "You can bake. You can draw. You can do tax returns. You're going to make some man very happy one day." XDDDDDDDDDDDD
- THE GOOSE THAT LAID THE GOLDEN EGGS ... oh. my. god. The Epic White Elephant That Ever Was.
A manager put the most random and psychotic things in a box: lentils, rosemary, kiwifruit, painted golden eggs, a knife with painted "blood" on it, and a stuffed goose/turkey/bird toy in a bag. All buried in dirt coffee IDEK. WTH. Then after the poor victim pulled out everything, said manager pulled out a paper:
In the fable by Aesop, a man and his wife had a goose which laid an egg of solid gold every day. After a while, they became too impatient to wait 24 hours for the next egg, and wondered how they could get more gold faster. “Where does the gold for the eggs come from?” the wife asked. “What if we could find the source of all that gold?”
So, imagining the bird must have an inexhaustible source of gold inside it, they decided to kill it and cut it open. Of course, there was no gold and they lost the daily egg as well.
I don't know. I don't even know. I recorded everything on tape and haven't laughed that hard in so long. If you're seeing me this weekend I will force you to watch this clip because IT IS SO GREAT.
I love my people.
