Birthday Wheelings And Dealings

This Monday afternoon Cheryl spent an ardously long length of time trying to verbalise the extent of our relationship. In this relationship, we are colleagues, nothing more. She was doing expressing herself because she wanted me to spend more money on her birthday present than I would on presents for other colleagues. This neighbourliness has a price, apparently.

Her birthday is on Jan 8. Mine occurs next month. Let's see whether this "nice neighbour buys expensive gifts" premise is quid pro quo. Or as my friend Wee Han aptly put it after his wedding dinner "What goes around, comes around."
