I absolutely hate crocheted stuff.  especially stupid ornamental dust-gathering thingies.

My administrative boss retired earlier this year, and for christmas gifted me a crocheted plant in a pot.  She explained it was something she was taking up in retirement.  So I put it on the shelf in the office.  Yesterday, i donated it to a thrift store.  Today I came in to work after a week working away from the office at a training ....to find some lavender woven with ribbon into a... pointy thing sat on my keyboard waiting for me.

My former admin boss did message to say she'd had coffee with one of my current project bosses this week.  But ... said current project boss is an avid gardener.
aaaargh.... gotta figure out who made the monstrosity so I know how long it will/can be before it magically disappears..... it's in my favorite colors (as was the crocheted thing), so I'm leaning towards retired boss, but.... aaaaargh

I'm sorry folks, I hate your handicrafts.  To be fair I hate some of mine too, so I get wanting to give them away but......
