Grr, ranty rantiness ahead
Dec. 3rd, 2014 12:53 pmThe company IT division is doing a competition to gather stuff for the food bank, so my department has been turned into a team in this thing and we're being encouraged to bring as much in as we can. Fair enough, I have no problem with this. I've got friends who have relied on food banks at times in their lives and I firmly believe in giving back when I'm able.
We didn't get told about this until Monday.
Yesterday, a co-worker sent out a chirpy little email about how sad the amount we'd collected so far was, and exhorting us to bring in 'a few cans and jars from the cupboard' today to make our stack look better.
Which is fine for people who actually have a stash of cans and jars in their cupboard, but I don't. So I didn't bring anything in, because I'm doing my regular grocery shopping later in the week and I'll buy some stuff then. We've got until the end of next week to collect stuff. This will be fine, right?
( Cut for length and ranting )
