Yep those were good times, unfortunately that ship has sailed. It was goats that we donated. A few of us still do a secret santa thing but it's a small group from the old days.

Speaking of goats. The girlfriend was just given a goat as the owner couldn't......whatever she couldn't, the gf ended up with the goat. We have now come to realize it's a service animal. Who the hell ever heard of a service goat. It's crazy! This thing is super smart. She was also kept inside.

I'm pretty sure I've had all the flavors and brands at this point. I've been with the same girl for 6 years now. She's anti-people like I am. We are pretty much hermits these days. We keep to ourselves to avoid the general public.

We had one person who everyone PM'd their address to and that person was also in charge of selecting who buys for who. The person in charge would PM you the username of the secret santa recipient and their address and you went out and purchased a gift and mailed it to their address. It was very easy.

One of our last stints, a participant received their gifts, never sent anything to their recipient, and completely ghosted the group, never even saying "hey sorry life caught up and couldn't do it". They're still active on here too. A person of well enough means, where some of the others it was tough for them to participate but did out of spirit.
Killed the vibe. |

disclaimer - I was not the one. This post is in jest, all of it; especially the magic of Christmas part. You'll find no other person who despises Christmas as much as I do. No decor, no tree and this year no gifts. (it's a cash only arrangement this year) In fact the entire holiday season doesn't exist in my home. The kids are coming for dinner on Thanksgiving, but we are having NY strips. |

I don't think I was involved in any SS's that you've been a part of. Possibly during my couple years of being perma-banned. |

Again, I'm kidding. Too much caffeine and in a shitty mood, I'm trying to turn it around before starting an uncomfortable discussion with an employee. |

![]() I used to love to decorate for Christmas and get my boys excited about it. We had an...incident a few years ago on Christmas that ruined it for everyone in the family. It's a day we try to beat demons out of our heads with alcohol now. It's the one day out the year that I'm an alcoholic and there is never enough. |

I'm in a shitty mood too! Mostly just because of my company. 12 hour days, 4x responsibilities in past year, was on a 10% salary cut for 1 year of it, no raise the following. Needless to say, I plan on working as little as possible the rest of the year. They have one chance to retain me as an employee come next year. |

Today's bullshit involves an employee overstepping his role and stepping directly on my toes. Material purchased and time spent researching all wasted, when I have other things I need to be focused on, because he didn't follow the instructions of "don't touch anything." He touched it all, f*cked it all up and now my budget is blown. I always appreciate help with projects, but when an employee is told specifically not to touch something, then does the exact opposite of that without approval.....yeah.... Already had a chat with his supervisor this morning. I'll be having a chat with the employee this afternoon. |
