As you know, Christmas is rapidly approaching. Buffy is coordinating Secret Santa this year.
It is very important to be popular at work if one is going to coordinate the Secret Santa game. Buffy is valiantly trying to get more staff to participate. Unfortunately, we have a rival secret Santa game that is being planned by the current Queen Bee. We shall call this women Jane Jones. She has a slavish harem of men friends that hang onto her every word. Buffy, my coworker only has one devoted man friend, Baker. Buffy has not had the time to garden a cult of personality and is struggling to get more participants.
I do not know when we have time to work especially with all this social climbing going around. God forbid, we do any work and publish data or publications or something. I digress.
Jane Jones has about 80% of the staff from my branch participating in her Secret Santa game. Buffy has the other 10. Another 10% refuses to participate. These last 10% are the smart ones.
Buffy is not taking this very well. She has called them 'snotty' and 'tacky.' My god, these are very harsh words coming from a Southern Belle like her. Baker, her man coworker friend tries to console her. They still lunch together. And I found out that they are considering shopping together after work as well.
I think Secret Santa is the stupidest idea I have ever heard. Of course I have been sucked into the drama. Of course I am participating in Buffy's game not Jane Jones. Why can't we all get along?
