Title: nice secret santa gift
Post by: Nicky on December 15, 2008, 04:58:14 PM
This year at my office we had secret santa where you buy a cheap presant for someone and it is anonymous (you get given a name at random).

Mine was quite a nice surprise - it was addressed both to Miss Nick(y) ____ and Mr Nick ____. I got some pink hair clips and hair ties of various kinds.

Totally cool. The best bit was the way they addressed it.

Nick

its little things like that that really add up!
I had the same thing happen to me, but the person was being sarcastic about it :-\

I think sometimes it is because they notice something about you, and some sort of in-built socialisation mechanism kicks in. Their response to it is to alert you to your 'flaw' and beat it out of you for the good of the group. Male groups in particular seem to operate this way.

Nicely done!  The person who gave you the gift must have been a fairly thoughtful person.  Are you out to them, or were they just guessing?  Does anyone "come out" as an  androgyne?

I'm 'out' to a few people a work.  I have no idea who it was though I could make a guess. It could just be someone that sees me wondering around in my pig-tails and nail polish at work. They might have done it as a bit of fun, but there was nothing malicious about it. I'm pretty well known at work for gender bending.

sounds like they had more fun buying that than people usually do for these things. Usually a lot of soap is exchanged, though i got a sack full of teddies last time i did that...she was an odd bod who gave me them though.
