My goal at work is to get a rather grouchy regular to smile and talk story with me.

She comes in every day and refuses to talk to anybody. It doesn't matter how polite you are to her. She doesn't answer or smile back; all she does is say what she wants to drink.

I though to myself, "instead of assuming this chick is a bitch, why not try get her to open up and relax a bit. Smile.

Well, I wouldn't quite call it today, but she did talk story with me AND initiated it. It's a start. Before you know it we will be cracking jokes and I'll get this tough bird to smile. Life is not that serious.

  1. What a great attitude you have! I'm sure your kindness means more to her than you can see.

  2. Thanks :)
    and I hope so....I see everyone else at work just make fun of her and make no attempt to say anything. That bothers me. Maybe I'm just more sensitive than I let on in that respect, but we are all connected (like it or not)...talking about her behind her back is only going to spread that negativity.
