(no subject)
So, I stayed home Friday to do online training without all the distractions at work. It would've been perfect if my internet was worth a shit. Anyway, I'm assuming what I'm about to describe happened on Friday while I was home.
I got to work today and there were some new additions on my desk.....
1) A printed sheet that had my next travel orders- probably from the secretary or maybe it was something I printed myself and accidentally left at the printers.
2) Two coffee mugs, one that has old coffee stains in it. Probably from my cubical neighbor Ward who has been cleaning his desk and likes to pawn stuff off on me or from the vacant cubical next door which has a bunch of coffee mugs (again, probably moved to my desk by Ward or the cubical's future inhabitant, Jim).
3) The third wasn't on my desk, it was in the first drawer, on top of everything else, a large Hershey's chocolate bar with almonds and a little yellow sticker in the corner that's a smiley face that's winking.
Now I'm sure lots of girls would be pleased and wonder if they have a secret admirer and giggle a little bit.
I, however, was confused and wondered it had been poisoned and who the hell left it there.
My first guess was the brit I have lunch with. He confirmed no, he didn't buy me chocolate but yes, I should be freaked out. So the other suspects are:
1) Ward, who possibly found the chocolate at the bottom drawer of his desk from 6 months ago or more, possibly left there from the last person to occupy his cubical.
2) One of the secretaries- both young men, one who has started talking to me occasionally and knows I'm single.
3) Hip Jim, who is always telling me that any day now I'm going to be swept off my feet by some young guy and I'll get married and ride off into the sunset on a white horse (and he's serious about all of it except the horse. He's reasonable to believe it might be a different color horse), has found and possibly started paying someone to woo me.
I don't think Hip Jim's trying to drop any hints because I've laid the verbal smackdown on him before about all the marraige and guy talk and he shrank back, tail between his legs like a puppy that got smacked on the node with a rolled up newspaper (it was awesome, by the way).
So yeah. Mystery chocolate. Haven't eaten. Too creepy.
