I don't know what it's like at your place of employment, but where I'm at, when someone gives you work it's prefaced with, 'I've got a present for ya' or 'Here's a present'. Doesn't that seem just a little sadistic? I wonder if it's a southern thing like 'Bless His Heart', which if added to all the nasty things said about someone absolves the speaker from speaking ill of that person. As you can see, one of my co-worker's with a sense of humor took a whole new approach to the present thing. I found the 'work' folder slipped under the door to my office. There was a note mentioning the box of chocolates wouldn't fit. While, I'm afraid that the offer of a box of chocolates was bogus, the folder added a touch of whimsy and lightened the day.

Fake chocolate?????
That does seem to have a sweeter touch on the work load. I wish my boss would wrap my duties in a box of chocolates... or maybe tag two tickets to Fiji to them. Ha!
Sounds like a fun place to work
If someone told me the box of chocolates didn't fit, I'd expect a box of chocolates next time I saw that person! :)
since I live in a poor country in which it is the greatest happiness if you can find work, getting some is the greatest present ever.
haha that would be the kind of gift you'd want to re-gift to someone else. Thanks for the shout
Happy, It's a sad, sad thing isn't it?
Very sad.
PS: The Cinnamon sugar thing turned into a fancy pop tart kind of deal. Was yummy. All gone, now.
Tickets to Fiji....I like it:)
Hey CJ, yeah, its not bad at all.
OMG Happy, that sounds delicious.
Stacy, grin.
I understand, Dez.
Hi Pat, 'Re-gift'. Good one.
Hello, Ms. Julia:)

Hope you have a great rest of your week. Cheers and boogie boogie.
