Easter Kringle
On Thursday K from the admin department came to me asking whether i'd be interested in taking part in their Easter Kringle and I answered "Yes" straight away. Normally I would have said "NO" but since I have started this new chapter in my life and I am trying to be more positive, I am pushing some of my boundaries and even breaking some.
K briefly explained that the idea was to put people's names into a box and then have a draw and then you had to buy ten bucks worth of easter eggs to that person....right.....yep sounds ok. However after thinking about it for a while, a question slowly formulated in my head...Why doesn't everyone of us buy our own bloody Easter eggs ?!
My better half celebrate Kris Kringle at her place of work for Xmas. They all make up some really creative gadgets or toys that matches their colleagues personality for the occasion. Now I can see the fun in that, but I can't see the fun in just buying someone else an Easter egg because it's Easter...
When K came to see me again in order for me to draw a name out of the box, I asked her if the whole Easter Kringle was meant to be kind of humorous....a few seconds of silence lapsed, followed by a stern look from this 20 something young woman, before she replied with a straight face that all I needed was to buy some chocolate easter eggs.
Alrighty then...I just picked a small piece of paper and opened it up and lucky me ! ..I have to find something for the big boss !!!....I figure that depending on what I get him, it could either expend my chances of getting a job in his department or it could see me on my way out in the near future !
I'm still not thrilled about just getting some chocolate eggs, it sounds too boring for me, it's not because that's what everyone else does that I need to follow their lead, I do not want to be part of the flock of boredom, I'd rather be the black sheep and do something different but at the same time I don't know those people well enough as of yet so I may have to be diplomatic....what a dilemma !!
PS: I've updated my flicker gallery, it's a collection of some of my favourite picks i've taken over the years mostly in Australia, so If you need a bit of warmth and exotism to relax your mind , this gallery is for you.
