Heard of Charity Dinners? Yah, they are those things (called Galas) where you pay 5k and up for a table for some charitable cause.
Seems some of my colleagues wanted to host a Charity lunch. Totally at market prices, no markup. The charitable cause?
Me.
Yup, i guess i have hit the lowest possible level of patheticity and it must show on my face.
My colleagues who never ever ask me out to lunch invited me to join them. When i saw the email, their bleeding hearts were oozing thru the screen.
Of cos, i said no (and i wonder why i complain i am isolated).
Funny thing is, despite their unadulterated overwhelming kindness, they did not invite that does.not.speak colleague of mine. You see? I wasnt exaggerating when i hinted that he was a possible-serial-killer-kinda-weirdo-cyborg!
