Oh Poet -
They don't "get it". It would make them feel better if they thought they were doing something "cheerful" to brighten your day. They don't understand the anxiety, the pain.
I'm sorry. I hope your sign works too.
At my work, since I'm the boss, I let the staff decide if they want to do this sort of thing. I never make the decision. AND THEN ... we have a sign up sheet for those who WANT to participate. No one has ever been made to feel bad because they said "no". I don't care for it myself, but I try to go with the flow.
I don't bake cookies either. But my daughter has turned into Miss Suzy homemaker. Where did she come from? She is always making treats for her younger brother from scratch. Thank goodness for the Food Network. It has inspired her to cook. I told her if she can manage to cook dinner twice a week, I'll clean her room once a week without complaining. Sounds like a good deal to me!
