I can't think of a worse one. Can you?

Last year, for Secret Santa, I got some damn vitamins from a desk worker who didn't even last after January. Some crappy vitamin D gummies. For comparison, I gave her a new LED computer keyboard. I even posted about it here on GAG. Everyone else got cool crap and I got f*cking vitamins. It's been an entire year and I'm still salty about that.

This year, we aren't doing a Secret Santa cause all the women in the workplace hate each other, but I still bought everyone something, cause I never had Christmas growing up. What can I say; I'm feeling charitable this month.

Which one of these bad gifts from a coworker, would you most prefer?

So for the past two weeks, I was supposed to be planning a Christmas party and Secret Santa gift exchange at work. Last year, there was a female coworker who did this, but her, along with two male coworkers, left this year. Leaving just five of us original teachers left. But the boss wasn't getting back to me about it and kept ignoring me, including even Friday, as I need his approval with everything.

So I talked to him just half an hour ago, before leaving work, and he revealed to me that the other teachers aren't getting along with each other. I asked him if I had anything to do with it or if anyone was pissed off at me, and he said no. Me and him are the only male teachers left. So there's catfights and drama going on! I didn't even know this! I'm not always in-the-loop cause I'm not fluent in Korean.

But yeah. He told me due to the foul mood among the other teachers, the Secret Santa is canceled. We might still have a pre-Christmas party on Friday, but it'll be small and he'll take care of it to mitigate the drama going on and keep everyone friendly and polite.

This feels so weird to me, cause this is the first time that 1) there's drama going on in a job I'm working in, and it doesn't involve me, and 2) everyone likes me more than each other. I grew up in Philly, where hating everyone and plotting to get your coworkers fired was the norm. (Doesn't mean I did this; it's just what was the norm in that toilet of a city.)

Which also now means, it's up to me to "keep Christmas spirits up." *ME!* Have you met me before? I'm the f*cking Grinch! But I guess I gotta step up and be the one "let's all get along and be peaceful cause it's Christmas!" coworker, for once! So f*cking bizarre!

Anyway, do you get along with your coworkers?
