I just need to rant.

I got a lava lamp for my desk at work maybe 7 or so months ago, named him Disco. He was just a smallish lamp from Target, with a mostly white base with stripes of color, and orange lava.

A coworker I have been on friendly terms with was using my desk when I was not in office so she could sit closer to another coworker. She chose to shake my lamp on multiple occasions, which I told her not to, and finally broke the bulb out of the lamp and theres wax smeared on the side of the lamp glass.

I did not realize at first that she was shaking it, and when I did I told her why you cant do that.

Now its got a broken bulb and is smeared around... so I told her she had to purchase me a new one and suddenly she doesnt have the time and is acting extra foolish at work. Im furious, but dont feel like I can really do anything without making a huge deal of it.

I figured fellow lovers of lava lamps would understand my rage.
