Quick Quip

I am organizing a baby shower for one of the guys at work. He and his wife are having their first child, and we always throw a shower for a couples first baby.

I have sent out four reminders about this, and I never expect more than 5 bucks from people. I know that people can be low on cash, but it's the same people that never contribute. This wouldn't be a big deal except one of them, Susan, had everything in her apartment damaged in the flood last year. The company took up a collection and gave her gift cards from the mall that totaled $1000. I know I sound silly and petty, but I don't think it would kill her to throw in 2 bucks for a baby gift.

This quote came from another blogger, whom I hold near and dear to my heart. I think this quote really applies to this situation. Some people are like Slinkies ... Not really good for anything......But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs
