OMG, I'm so sorry! That's horrible... not surprising :-/, but horrible. I swear common decency and responsibility just doesn't exist anymore!
Maybe Santa will bring you a nice, new pie plate for Christmas? And you can take pictures of all the beautiful, delicious desserts you make and put the photos in the office fridge? Okay, maybe the last bit would be too evil... :-P
Kirsty has a million stories of work/food disasters. Being in a large office (several hundred people) it is always someone's birthday, anniversary, or ass-scratching day and - without fail - there is always a monetary collection for them. It gets rather taxing on the finances, especially for the people who live paycheque-to-paycheque - even GBP5.00 will add up when you're multiplying it by everyone's damn 33rd and a half birthday party.
Managers are also expected to take their team out (13 people) for dinner around Christmastime, but even a cheap meal would come to WELL over GBP100-200. Who has that kind of money at Christmas (or any time)?!
Anywayyy, rant aside, I'm really, really sorry about the whole potluck fiasco (and the flat tire - what is wrong with that tire?). :(
