Help- get well thing for boss

[Bernadine]

Ugh, I'm annoyed.  My boss thinks I'm some kind of skilled graphic designer because I can copy and past images into Word and make things like labels with pictures.  Her boss has been out of the office for two weeks with a back injury.  She wants us to make a little get well basket for him.  On her way out the door, she handed me $10 and said that I'm good with this kind of thing. 

WTF do I do with this money?  The only thing I know about this guy is that he plays racquetball, although he obviously can't right now, and drinks coffee and 5 hour energy drinks.  I don't even know what kind of coffee.

Um...whut? I would probably just get him a Starbucks gift card. I mean, don't baskets cost...$5? At least?

They want you to make a gift basket for 10 bucks?
What, from the dollar store?

[Bernadine]

I know, right? I just remembered, she mentioned something about balloons. And I'm working overtime tonight, so I'll be off late. OMG. This is bullshit.

Buy a bag of SB coffee grounds. Attach a ribbon and a get well card that everyone signs.

That's about the best you can do for $10.

Maybe she thought that several people would chip in $10 and you'd get him a $40 or $50 pre-made get well basket.

I would bet this is exactly what they want.

$10? lol I am also thinking she wants everyone to chip in. I would get a gc with the money everyone donates.
