going around, coming around

A co-worker was telling me that she is collecting items for a holiday pot luck party her team is having where they will do a Yankee swap. With the budget cuts, there is no money for food or gifts this year, so she is scouring our offices for items that the owners no longer want.

i told her about the green heart shaped paperweight, and she asked to have it. i opened the drawer that has held it in limbo for the last two months and handed it to her without pause.

It was only when she left did i take time to wonder if i was done with it.

Someone will like it as a present, in spite of its bad karma.
