This afternoon, I bought a pack of 8 cookies to share at work because it's Friday and raining and half of the office isn't here and the other half need some encouragement. Plus, buying 8 'gourmet' cookies from the grocery store is much more economical than one from JP Licks and we're heading into a recession (hey, how come they don't tell us it's patriotic to buy things anymore?). I thought of what Whitecastle said and considered offering the cookies to him first, but two offices come before his and I just couldn't pass them in good conscience without sharing my bounty. So, with 2 down and 6 more to give, I knocked on Whitecastle's door.
Moi: Want a cookie? I'm working on my suck up game.
Whitecastle: (sighs, motions the open package) Clearly, you've offered it to other people already.
One day, one day soon, my efforts will be good enough.
