Popcicle Drama

Yesterday I brought popcicles into work to beat the heat.  The only problem is, I didn’t buy enough for the whole office (because I don’t have enough money in my budget for 10 boxes of ‘cicles). So I let the people in my immediate team (and a few friends) know that they were in a bag in the freezer and to help themselves. 

Long story short, someone made an issue of the fact that I had a bag of popcicles and that they weren’t for everyone. Their method of passive aggressive attack was via email and by purchasing more popcicles.  As a result, multiple other people have gone and bought popcicles and then emailed something snide to the whole office alluding to the fact I had popcicles but they weren’t for sharing but they bought popcicles but that they were nice enough to get popcicles for everyone. 

The end result has been plenty of popcicles for everyone but the spiteful spirit in which they were purchased makes me sad.  And seriously, ALL these bad feels for trying to do something nice??  It makes my head hurt.  

How ridiculous is all of this?!?  I guess heat DOES make people cranky… 

(an asside, if you use poopcicles instead of popcicles while reading this, you’re guaranteed a laugh)

“You may continue to carry on at your own leisurely pace, hoping for a shot at a coffee house or open mic night. I will not rest until we have our own stadium on the moon, with amplifiers pointed towards the sky’s infinite expanses, so that we may truly rock the galaxy. I wish for you to join me on this epic quest.” SERIOUS guitarist looking for like-minded bandmates to make it big.
