Nov. 21st, 2002 02:27 pmWhere has this month gone? It's almost Thanksgiving! Ack!
At lunch, the support staff organized an early Thanksgiving feast, which everyone paid $7 for. Since I didn't have the money at the time, I told P. that I would just bring my lunch and eat with everybody else. Yesterday, I got an email that the licensing staff was going to pay for my lunch - which, I felt funny about, since several other people were going to bring their lunch too. I told P. at the lunch how I felt about it, and I saw some hurt looks across the table, so I explained to them too. J. told me it was ok, B. had paid and wasn't able to come; they would just give the money back to her. And there was plenty of soda and pumpkin pie, so at least help myself to that. Now I feel bad for turning down someone's generosity.
Damned if I do, damned if I don't. I will go to the holiday party though.
