A Parting Gift

On Thursday last, I announced that 22 October was my birthday. A colleague said she had to send me some Haagen Dazs since I was not going to be in Calypso Land but in Spice Land for my birthday. Well I thought that was what she said. So later that afternoon, I saw her again and she asked what flavour. And if they didn't have Cookies & Cream? Then Pralines & Cream. I thought she was kidding.

Later that night, I get a call to say she is coming up to the restaurant. With guess what? Haagen Dazs! Made my night, especially since I had to be up early for a 6:00 am flight, much to my dislike.

People don't realize that it's the little things they do that make others feel special.

And to think she's just a colleague.... Sounds like a friend to me, because I sure as hell am not carrying any Haagen Dazs for no colleague...

But I guess its just semantics huh? A colleague can be your friend too, I guess.

Correct Mad Bull, I can think of one colleague who definitely is a friend.

Mich...I wonder if I can send you some Haagen Dazs to you via the net??? Never mind, I suppose it is the thought that counts. :-)
