Spreading Confusion In My Work Place

--by hennie, posted Apr 12, 2013

Yesterday, at work, I went around leaving envelopes on random desks. Inside the envelopes were Smile cards and various gifts, like scratch cards, bars of chocolate, candles, and so on.

I sat back to listen to comments colleagues made as they opened their envelopes. Some of them made me giggle.

A few examples were - "I found this card with a ribbon around it, thinking it was something else. I opened it and found a Smile card and scratch card." "How creepy - and kind of nice!" "Can you imagine winning?" "We should leave a Smile card for someone!"

Then a colleague asked if I had left it and I said, "What is it anyway?" Then I pretended to read the card and encouraged them to look at the web-site!

They continued to speculate about who left them and showed everyone who came into the office.

As I left the office I noticed someone else finding a Smile card and an envelope. They were very curious and suspicious. "Shall we open it?" I heard them say. "It does say, "For you! Yes, you!""

The word is getting round and the comments are the funniest. It's sad how the world is not used to kindness but we are slowly making a difference!
