The institution clearly has a bulk shipment of chocolate-with-card. Have the secretary sign the headmaster's name, hand it over. You are a valued member of our team, number 24601.
We actually did that to one of our bosses when I worked for (*Big Company That My Non-Disclosure Agreement Says I Can't Name Directly, But It Rhymes With "Pony."*). I believe one of the ladies in the office bought a blank card, and she wrote, very flowery "You are very important to us," and afterwards used a computer to print his name is a very cold, crisp font, followed by "Prisoner 6."
Okay, so my story-telling needs work. It was funny. I swear!
It should have been in the official Village typeface (I saw it named in GURPS Prisoner, but foolishly let a lack of money stop me buying that book before it went out've print).
Well, that certainly beats the idiot who gave me a Starbucks gift card for last year's Secret Santa exchange. Obviously they hadn't observed that I never actually drink coffee.
Yeah, our group secretary got everyone a tin of cookies (which I have been eating) and one of instant coffee (which will probably get regifted at some point), which I don't drink.
I'm a secretary. I did sweets for Christmas. But the Boss got all the dark chocolate stuff, because he likes it, and everybody else got the stuff I've observed them snatchin' outta the candy dish for the past 6 months. (LC got the raspberry linzer cookies and chocolate, NS got the peppermints, etc)
I did screw up one person's gift, but that's cause she works in a completely different area and I only ever talked to her on the phone. How was I supposed to know she lost 150 pounds last year when I've never actually seen her? heh .. well, at least she liked the handpainted gift box.
