Sparky is so getting coal for Christmas
Sigh. It truly pains me to write this blog entry (okay, not really...but I felt like I should say that). It's actually Sparky's behavior that pains me. Let me set the scene:Thursday, 8:03 a.m.: Madd Dogg suffers a heinous work related blow. She cries.
8:10 a.m.: Madd Dogg is so done crying. Now she's just pissed. And she needs a stiff drink.
11:45 a.m.: Our office holiday party commences.
12:13 p.m.: The office holiday party gift exchange begins. In short, the rules provide that you open a gift but that others with a higher number may steal your gift.
12:19 p.m.: Madd Dogg steals a nerf gun and bottle of wine, announcing that she needs both after her work related blow. It was a loud annoncement, such that Sparky HAD to have heard it.
12:23 p.m.: Sparky flashes his number (higher than Madd Dogg's) at Madd Dogg, with glee and cruelty in his eyes. He makes it quite clear he's coming for MY nerf gun and MY bottle of wine. Did I mention that I made it quite clear I needed both?
12:29 p.m. Sparky's number is called and, sure enough, he makes his way towards Madd Dogg and STEALS her gun and bottle of wine. With a certain amount of satisfaction, I might add. Madd Dogg attempts to shoot him with her nerf gun but to no avail.
12:31 p.m.: Someone else steals the nerf gun and wine from Sparky. Once again, karma kicks Sparky squarely in the ass. Madd Dogg claps.
12:38 p.m.: The party ends, and Sparky has some hot chocolate assortment and Madd Dogg, thank god, ended up with another bottle of wine.
Since then: Madd Dogg and Sparky have not ridden in a car together. Madd Dogg's beef? I mean, sure, stealing is all part of the game. But I am equally as sure that Sparky breached some unnamed carpool ethic (with impunity, I might add) by stealing what Madd Dogg so clearly needed that day. And she has yet to forgive him. And she predicts that Santa will feel the same, and will deliver an appropriate amount of coal.

I'm just passing through and thought perhaps it was best for Madd Dogg not to have both the Nerf(c) gun and the bottle of wine and that Sparky was just performing a community caretaking function by stealing them from her. In fact, didn't Madd Dogg steal them in the first place? In any event, because she ended up with a bottle of wine, the whole incident should be chalked up as harmless. At least that's the summary of my memo to Santa.
Happy Holidays!!
Harmless? As in harmless error? What are you, anonymous, some kind of lawyer? It's not harmless, because Madd Dogg didn't end up with the nerf gun, which was, in fact, what she needed the very most. I'm sending Santa another memo to counter your memo to Santa....
And, Sparky, you aren't allowed to defend your actions as "anonymous." It's chickenshit.
