Does anyone else work in an office where the people there throw parties and showers all the freaken time? Ours does and I'm getting darn tire of it. We're going through bankruptcy and I need my money right now to pay for it. I can't be buying food or drink for a party and then a present on top of it too.
We had a baby shower last year for a co worker and had to buy for that. Another will be coming up for one who is due in april. And now it's a wedding shower. I'm down for getting drinks. And then I have to get a present (which I didn't know till I just asked).
(The major rant part coming up)
I didn't even have a wedding shower when I got married. *Whining pitifully.* My best friend is mentally unstable and lives all the way across the country and couldn't do it for me. And my mother who drinks too much couldn't and wouldn't do it either. And I didn't have friends who could because I don't have any. The only thing close was an after wedding party for the both of us with relatives I didn't know on his side. I hadn't even been to a baby shower before I went to this one here at the office last year.
This is rediculous. Everytime I turn around in the darn office it's give money for the boss' present for boss' day or for his birthday or for christmas. And bring stuff for this party or that party. And we gave all the people in our dept xmas gifts (that meant I had to get five gifts).
They had a "tailgate" party in the office for football. I'm sick of these stupid parties. Or in this case showers.
Do you guys work in an office where there are showers and parties galore? Are you sick of it as much as I am? I have to eat too and pay bills and save for this bankruptcy. I'm not rich.
