Well, fancy that. Today, I was subject to two random acts of kindness.
For starters, my one co-worker tapped me on the shoulder just past noon and asked me if I was busy. Turns out, the gal in the cube across from him had retired, and she'd left behind a whole buncha books on Job Control Language and COBOL. I told him once that I was interested in learning 'em, so I guess he figured it's better to give them to someone rather than the shredder. I must've thanked him five times.
And after that? The guy in the cube next to me - real character, retired but works for fun - up and gave me an extra German pretzel he didn't want. That's the first time in ages anyone's offered me food, and for once, I'm not even allergic to it! How cool is that?
It's turned out to be a challenging week for me, and I'm not really looking forward to the current project they've got me on. But if the office is gonna be this nice to each other, I'd reckon it's a small price to pay. ^^
