A quiet word

I'm hoping it counts as a good deed.  It was had with good intentions.

The proper good deed was checking the new person has my number so he can get in touch on Saturday when we're all going out for drinks.

Bye

I took a leaving card to a dept that tend to get forgotten about.  I'll also collect it & take it to my building.  I was considering offering anyway.

Lunch and Jellyfish


  • Bought lunch for my brother and his wife at a nice cafe in the town and thanked the waiters and waitresses profusely as their boss seemed a little bit of a slave driver
