Is this jr high school all over again?

Last week a co worker, I will call C, sent out an email about buying a supervisor and assistant supervisor Christmas gifts. She stated that for those who want to participate they have to give $8. So, everyone starts bitching and moaning amongest each other. First of all C always is the one who "volunteers" to buy gifts for the boss for boss' day, her bday etc. Also everyone felt that the assistant supervisor should not get as much. We also wanted to know what would be purchased.
So, after all this bitching and moaning (and yes I was guilty of it too!) I said I will email C and include everyone in the email and ask these questions: 1. What are we getting them, and perhaps we can make some suggestions, my suggestion was gift card to a restaurant. 2. Are we splitting the $ 50/50 between the 2 of them because the original email was not real clear about that. And 3. What if we can not afford to give the amount that was dictated to us. I get no response to these questions. I did also say in the email that I think it was really nice of C to offer to do this... blah blah blah. So, Monday another person emails everyone stating that C has ALWAYS done the gift getting and we should not question her judgement for gifts and that we should not micro manage the process. I ignore said email... and think WTF??? So, this morning C emails everyone and says she is no longer collecting $$ for the gifts becasue there is too much confusion going on. Now, mind you she NEVER answered the legitimate questions that several of us had!
And she sat there bitching about me today to the person in the cube across from her. Just because I have my Ipod playing in my ears does not mean I don't hear you. And she was just being an obnoxious bicth as usual. She is stupid and worthless. She does nothing all day just runs her mouth and worries half the day away about what her fat ass is going to eat for lunch that day. I really feel like there are all these little cliques at work... aren't we past that age? And C is probabloy older than the rest of us at work...much older! I really do not want to hear what her fat mouth has to say tomorrow about me. Oh and as far as a Christmas gift goes for the supervisor, 4 or 5 of us decided we will just go in on one together and not worry about what C is doing or thinking or saying. Maybe a little less gossip on her part and more work would be a good gift she can give our supervsior!

oh my God, just please punch her in the head. "confusion"? no, sounds like she was taking an opportunity for easy 'feel good' points. but when it got to be a little work, like merely answering questions of those who will actually PAY for the boss' gift, she crumbles.

fuck her-- listen, stuck-in-hell-- you get your best friends at work and quietly get teh boss a little something something. then offer it up with kind words ("its been nice working for you....") then be done with it.

C is a "c" (im sure evil luna can get illustrious here with her nouns).

A meeting was called today about this whole ordeal. I just sat there and listened to C and her whorebag friend verbally attack another coworker. I would have said something, but she was holding her own, and I was secretly cheering her on! After that I went back to my desk.... and worked....shocking! And I decided I am done w/ all of this crap. I will not give money to anyone for a xmas gift for the boss nor will I be partaking in any other festivities such as the dept. Christmas party. I am so done with those bitches. Time to update the ol' resume!

...because i said the same thing- "no" to that stupid Secret Santa, "no" to the pre-holiday luncheon.

the luncheon is a nice affair, though. and the people in this office are, by way of comparison to other places ive worked, SAINTLY, but its just the job and my project manager (stupid bitch that she is) that has me grinched out.
