The weirdos I work with

Sometimes I think the kids at the library are less of a problem than the staff ... I just got chewed out for not taking part in the social committee's latest fundraiser of a Dancing With the Stars Pool. My argument was A) I took part in your damn Valentines raffle and I didn't even have a Valentine to share it with, and B) I don't watch that shitty show so why the fuck would I support your stupid gambling (those may not have been the exact words I used). Anyways, here was the email that I got in response:

How come you didn't buy a ticket? Just because you don't watch doesn't mean you can't still pick a celebrity and vote for fun. And to support the Social Committee. The SC Sweeties are trying to do a job here. We need support or you will have to pay full price for your Christmas Party Ticket. AND if you get sick, we won't have money for a basket or flowers for you. Then you will complain that no one cares for you; and make up a big sob story that everyone will not pay attention to and call you whiner. So, do you want a ticket or do you want to be called Whiner?

Granted the woman who wrote the email is wonderfully sarcastic, but the fact still remains that she is trying to bully me into joining this dumb contest - which I'm not going to do, plain and simple. I told her I don't need flowers when I'm sick, just days off, and that she can call me a whiner whenever she wants.

Tell her that you need to save your money to buy lottery tickets so you can share money with your good friend Chelsea. And that if you're sick, the last thing you care about receiving is flowers or a freakin' gift basket...your friends and family are supposed to send you that kind of stuff anyways, not your co-workers...

OMG. Even for a sarcastic e-mail, this has really serious undertones. Fuck the SC!
