Ami Girrafe
This year at work, I opted not to participate in the gift giving exchange. It's not that I'm not into Christmas, I'm just not bloody interested in celebrating it with the people that I work with at the office. I know it's the season of giving, but I just can't, not when I can see through them and I can see how fake they are.
So when the boss's wife asked why I didn't want to participate, I told her that I wasn't participating because of commercialism. I told her that if I was going to participate, the item would be homemade or handmade. She said that was a good idea and I went ahead and joined. It was going to be easy since I was baking cookies for the season anyway, I can just give a batch to the person that I'm going to get.
Unfortunately, an annoying co-worker of mine rigged the Secret Santa name picking so that I'll get her instead of someone else. She wanted me to make her an Amigurumi Giraffe (which by the way she's been hinting on that I make her since she saw me looking through my pattern book). First of all, I have no time since I have finals to attend to and other Christmas presents to make. This secret santa thing has a time limit as well.
But to make the long story short, I made the giraffe and never brought another pattern book to work to look at during lunch. I wasn't going to make the same mistake again.
