Guilty feelings

We had a whole hour’s worth of intense discussion on an unfortunate incident that happened during our leaders’ Christmas party today. It was an exclusive party which our team organized. Out of the goodness of our hearts, we unintentionally caused a string of booboos that resulted in an embarrassing Christmas party disaster:

1. We invited one contractual to join our exclusive lunch.
2. We allowed her to participate in the raffle not really conscious that it might be unfair to the people who officially qualify as members of the team and attendees of the party.
3. She won the grand prize – a freakin’ P990i!!!

When her name was announced, there was a confused moment of silence. Then people clapped graciously. I looked at my teammates. We all had the same shocked expressions on our faces.

Hours after we still couldn’t agree on whether to talk to her, confiscate the prize or just let it go... Damn!
