Cacti

I keep a couple of (small) cacti in my cube. Today, just as Sally (our housekeeper) was coming by, I looked at the cacti and thought, "Gee, they're looking a little sick. I wonder why." Then I realized that I haven't watered them in over a year. So Sally comes over to empty my trashcan and finds me pouring water from my water bottle into my plant dish. When she heard I hadn't watered them in over a year, she started giving me a hard time: "They're plants! You have to water them!" She even made me turn on my desk light to give them some sunlight. (She's a much better plant mommy than I am.)
My point is, I keep cacti because that way I don't have to worry about watering them. They just kinda sit there and take care of themselves. But apparently a year's worth of neglect is a little too much. Hopefully they'll spring back now that they've had their annual watering...
