She Accepted Some Unexpected Overtime, But Didn't Pack Extra Food. She Then Got Back To Her Desk With A Surprise Waiting


--by dandeliongirl, posted May 2, 2017
Last week I finally completed my first 6 months in my new position and by getting through my first 6 months I am now eligible to work overtime!  I was asked and accepted some today.

Well, because it was unexpected, I didn't have extra food or snacks packed and I had mentioned this to a co-worker in passing. After all the regular staff had gone home I returned to my work area to grab something and found that she had left me an apple and a note and an extra apple she had but wanted to give it to me ''just in case''.

What a nice gesture! A small, simple gesture - just perfect. Thanks!
