Gift giving! You know those coveted items on your desk: scissors, letter opener, 3 hole punch and hand held calculator. Well, maybe I'm getting used to the idea of retiring and those things you guard on your desk like a watchdog really aren't that important any more. I particularly like the Monday morning search for "my" pair of scissors...who had the audacity to take them from my gadget/pen holder and use them without permission. Then you find them tucked in between the stacks of filing piling up on your desk and thank heavens you haven't really vocally chewed anyone out at this point. You say "I'm sorry" under your breath return the scissors to their proper holder until the next stationary/supply crisis.
Not today! I heard a coworker discussing an elaborate plan to share a calculator with another gal and that it would be located in the top left drawer of the desk so that both could have easy access. My calculator was fairly new, under a year old, and it was stored neatly in my drawer out of the way...can't remember when I used it last. The spirit of giving overtook me and I asked the coworker if she would like to have "my" calculator as her own. Smiles ensued, hallelujah another good deed! She also placed dibs on my emoticon stand-up flip book. The ladies in the office love to change my moods for me by flipping to the appropriate mood of the day. When it was flipped to "postal" my boss approached my desk and viewing said mood turned on his heal and beat a hasty retreat - not sure what he wanted that day. LOLTrivia:
