I was jonesin' for a soda real bad so I dug in my purse and grabbed two bucks. I just did it. I went in the break room and bought two sodas. My favorite, and my nemesis' favorite. Lord knows I grit my teeth so hard at times with him that the dentist remarks on my teeth being worn from doing it.
I leaned over and set it on his desk.
"What, you get an extra?" he laughed.
"Nope...I got it for you," I replied and sat back down.
"Ah, thanks," he smiled.
Did it have that Subway magic moment? No...but he'd ignored me all day until then. And now he's talking to me...even sent me a cool video.

ReplyDeleteI have done some minor givings...nothing cashy...but gestures and the attitude amongst the not-so nice folks I spoke of has changed! For the most part. :) It has made things alot more pleasant!
