Work Etiquette
I had something strange happen at work the other day:
I had been off for a week (literally!) because my Aunt Beth and her daughter (my cousin) were here to visit. So, I came back to work this past Thursday. About 9 hours into the shift, we are at the Nurses' station talking about food (one of my favorite subjects!) Deb (who was in Charge that day), picks up this little box with a card attached (it was a thank you note). It's a gift from a patient I'd had the week before. It's a 4 piece box of Godiva chocolate.... with 2 pieces missing.
Now, in case you're wondering, this is *r*u*d*e*. As in very. I would have shared. (No, really, I would have!) Maybe they thought they were being considerate by only eating half, and leaving me the other half. Seems to me they should have just eaten the whole stinkin' box, and only leave the card. Then I wouldn't have known the difference.

Hi Julie,
Ok, so I started a comment--not too complicated, but a hearty, relevant comment, when I discovered that I had to set up an account to post. So I did that, and in the process of setting it up, the computer deleted my draft of the original comment. Bleh.
So, here I am starting from scratch. :(
I'm very sorry to hear that someone ate half your chocolates. How rude! I noticed them at the nurse's station, and was quite tempted to eat them --but I RESTRAINED myself! It was difficult though. :) Anyway, I hope the two remaining ones were good. I'm sure you earned them!
Hope you're having a great week!
xoxo,
Fran
