Two weeks notice seems like such a short time when you've worked with someone for more than 365 days.
Of course, there are some people that I work with that could walk out the door without delay and/or ceremony and my feelings would not be hurt.
Tim, the colleague in question, brought in two boxes of donuts today (((groan))) but he was also nice enough to bring me a container of fruit. How cool is that?
Yesterday, I ordered Tim a pretzel from Gus' Pretzels since it's one of his favorite joints. I decided to go with the pumpkin design.
Don't ask why; it just amused me. Did you say pumpkin?, the clerk asked. Mind you, her question came after I said that I wanted to order a pizza...The eyes rolled around in my car so it doesn't quite look like a pumpkin.
Later on, a group of us went to lunch at Basil Spice. I did some reconnaissance and decided that I would go with soup. I also ate half of a spring roll -- my first time trying a non-fried one.
Maybe I can just have broth-based soup whenever I dine out?
I like the decor in Basil Spice. The music, lighting and modest water fountain had me more than ready for a siesta.
Goodbye Tim, you were such an appropriate one...
That was really nice of hmmm to bring you fruit!
ReplyDeleteI love fresh spring rolls. Those are def on my list of all time fave foods. I would imagine that they are not too high in calories either, except maybe for the rice paper.
ReplyDelete@ Ms. Bad MJ,
ReplyDeleteI was surprised. It was also good because I hadn't had cantaloupe or honeydew melon for awhile. I've been monotonously chomping on Fuji apples.
@ Sara,
Yeah, I didn't sweat the spring rolls. They were so fresh tasting with lettuce and bean sprouts? that I didn't think they were *harmful* at all.
