I am the Office Manager and President's assistant.
He assigns me tasks to complete on a daily basis. Some of them are typical and administration related and some of them are "unique" and interesting.
Last week I was told to purchase 60 "holiday" cards for our employees.
Fun, right? And easy enough I thought.
I go to WalMart (gag) because I had other supplies to get for the office and I picked up "holiday cards". They had "Christmas-y" pictures on them; you know like a Christmas tree, Santa, things like that, but nowhere on the box did it state that the inside of the card read "Merry Christmas". I thought they would be safe enough.
Nope.
Some read "Merry Christmas" and some read "Happy Holidays".
I go back to WalMart, wait in line for 46 hours to return the cards, and proceed to go find another two boxes of "holiday" cards.
One box includes 32 cards, I bought two. One box has a picture that reads "Season's Greetings" and another box reads "Happy Holidays". Great.
Nope.
I open them to begin working on them and they are assorted. Some say "Merry Christmas", so say "Happy Holidays", and some say "Season's Greetings". Unfortunately, majority of them say "Merry Christmas" so I have go return them.
For a second time.
Who would have ever thought buying freakin' "holiday" cards would be so hard!
SO then I hold the staff meeting to draw for "Secret Santa".
We all write our name, three gift ideas, fold the paper, and put it in a bowl to be drawn.
First round, I was the last person to pick a paper and guess what?
I drew myself.
Awesome.
Everyone puts their papers back in the bowl to go again.
I picked my paper last again.
Guess what? I drew myself.
For the second time.
I can't.
Finally, the third go round, I drew someone else.
I am officially over this holiday mess.
All I can do is LOL. Story of my life, friends. You would think I am making this up, but with God as my witness, I'm not.
