Denial
“Maybe it’s from my mom? Maybe they made a mistake?”
Anger
“Why would he spend so much, doesn’t he know how much pressure this puts on me?!”
Bargaining
“Maybe I can explain that this makes me really uncomfortable and split it with him or just flat out give it back.”
Depression
“I’ll just leave it here and work in my other office.” “Uhg, I need a nap.”
Acceptance
“Hey, look snacks! I love snacks! What an awesome gift!”
Why do I have to turn one of the sweetest things anyone has ever done for me into a big scary thing? Sure, it was a bit extravagant... but that's also what makes it sweet. New plan: Stop being such a crazy bitch and just accept this generous gift with a little grace and dignity. Yay for flowers, balloons, and a HUGE basket of goodies!
