Thanks for all comments,
be they helpful or unhelpful. I would like to point out that the Packers won the chunky can competition. Of course. Guess it says something about Wisconsinites and Packer fans (not necessarily the same folks). Is this a great place, or what?!

Ah!
I should have walked over to her area to check on the stick. It would make one fidgity, wouldn't it? There is a lot of that going around in yuppie, academia world where I am employed. Thanks for the invaluable perspective. My last comment before yours was too sunshiny, wasn't it? Ick.

Perhaps
that particular woman had a large stick protruding from her ass zone. I've seen it before, and it makes people fidgety.

I agree Mary.
It just seemed odd. Another woman posted a request for shoe boxes filled with items for children. I checked out the organization that distributes them (also asks for $5 to cover shipping), and didn't care for the sound of it. Seemed to me they held food and items hostage in return for conversion to their brand of Christianity, so I didn't participate. However, I didn't go on the bulletin board and slam the organization or her efforts.
This was a strange week. People seemed odd at work, and I heard the same comment from other people about their places of employment. I didn't check if planets were in retrograde or whatever, but something was off.
Today is beautiful, sunny, calm, and the New Moon was yesterday, so I'm looking for better times ahead.

Yikes!
There's one (or several) in every crowd. It's one thing for her not to participate but another thing to rain on everyone's parade.

I know all types of charity is important.
We all have to realize how fortunate we are. Giving, in any way, is great. Don't let one person spoil it for you.

Prune juice, eh?
Might not hurt. The woman who wrote the odd response about the soup campaign is not in my department. I've never even had a conversation with her. She usually ignores most of us for some reason we don't know about and don't care to explore. My co-workers were indignant and/or amused by her. See, they really are a nice group (in my department), but overall the organization is a bit tilted.

The people at your work need some serious prune juice I think! Refer to my other comment about the rice cake person.
