the decline of social work values

i put these MK eye shadows for sale in the bathroom at work a few weeks ago. they were discontinued colors, ones i can't sell at full price anyway. the plan was to mark them down even more this week so i could get rid of them, because otherwise they would just go in my personal "makeup graveyard" or in the trash.

i went in the bathroom this morning and what do i find? over half of them are GONE. at first i thought maybe someone took them with the intention of finding me later to pay me (it's happened before). but then i noticed that the container was up-side-down, and the eye shadows were all akimbo. it looked like a crime scene for sure.

like i said, these were basically worthless to me, so it's not the financial loss that hurts. it's the fact that some social worker, who is responsible for the lives of vulnerable children, can't even be trusted with a $6.50 cosmetic item. who even needs that many eye shadows? i go through like 3 a year, if that. are they planning to sell them on the MK black market ("the pink market"?) for gas money? i know we don't make a lot of $ here, but i thought social workers had better values and morals than that.
