We should compile a list of places that have pissed us off and sent SJ and TCG gift cards for them.

Okay, I know I'm over-reacting but here's what had me so pissy before. Email from cow-orker:
Steph and I were talking and we thought it might be nice to get [Boss] a gift card to Crate & Barrel for her housewarming/the holidays since we won't officially see her again until January.
Well, it would be.
But you know - she did a marathon this fall and we got her big gift baskets for the day before and the day after (delivered at home). And you know, other people (not naming names) closed on new condos this fall as well and didn't get housewarming gift cards.
She did give us holiday gifts, but of the card-and-an-ornament type. (Which is great and nice, that's no part of my complaint.) But I really don't see the need to repay that with freaking Crate and Barrel - particularly when the reason we won't see her before the holidays is because she's taking two weeks off - none of the rest of us have that freedom because we need to, you know, cover the work.
[I'm also realizing that part of my upset is that I don't know if this place does any kind of Christmas bonus or anything, but if we do I haven't heard about it, so I'm a little extra uninclined to throw $20 of my shopping money at the boss.]
Well. How's that for a big incoherent ball of pissyness?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Too coherent. Please revise.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I gave my boss cookies. I felt good about it.
I gave my assistant cookies, juice boxes of wine (impulse buy), and a gift card. Felt good about that, too.
