[quote=Anonymous]My husband got a funny nickname at work after a bizarre office incident. It became a running joke in his department, and someone even made him a little sign for his office. We joke about it at home too.

Around the same time he got promoted and moved offices, I happened to find a quirky office item related to the nickname through a random internet ad. It was oddly hard to track down, but I thought it was perfect, so I picked it up and gave it to him. He loved it, sent me a picture of it on his desk, and I figured it had joined the office joke collection.

Fast forward to a recent visit to his new office with the kids: the original sign is prominently displayed, but my gift is nowhere to be seen. He's fully unpacked. When I asked, he said he just hadn't put it out yet.

I know this is irrational. It's a work joke, and maybe I inserted myself into something that wasn't really mine to insert myself into. But I'm oddly hurt and maybe a little embarrassed that I put thought and effort into finding something that apparently didn't make the cut.

This is mostly a vent. Feel free to tell me I'm being ridiculous and need to get over it.
