So confused...
After school today we had our end-of-the-year luncheon. They present teachers with awards, hand out plaques and keepsakes to teachers who are leaving, and then the staff members that chose to participate in the Secret Pal exchange give their pal a final gift and we all reveal who our pal was.
My Secret Pal SUCKED this year... I got nothing but crap. I don't do it for the gifts that I get, but this year might make me not want to do it again in the future. I spent a lot of money on my pal -- it would have been nice to get something worthwhile in return.
So my finale present (it's supposed to be a biggie) was a 12 pack of Coors Light Cans. I thought for a while that it was some sort of joke that I wasn't getting. I'm still confused, to be honest.
On the form that I filled out at the beginning of the year, I put that my favorite food was anything that goes well with beer. Apparently my brilliantly creative Secret Pal thought -- hey, she likes beer! I'll get her that!
Isn't there something fundamentally wrong with getting a 31 week pregnant woman a 12 pack of beer as a 'gift?'
Who are these people, and what freaking planet did they come from?
