Best Surprise Gift Of the Week

"I'm going downstairs," said Boss Lady this afternoon, "to get supplies. Do you want anything?" I declined, thinking I had probably had enough bad stuff for one week.

I returned to my desk a bit later after going to hand some documents to a colleague and found that my desk had been graced with this:


I inhaled sharply. Mmm...six rectangles of Mint Aero to match my mint green Post-It notes.

I looked up at Boss Lady. "Is this your doing??" I said abruptly, which startled her.

"What??" she said, looking confused and a little bit worried.

"Oh sorry, the Aero! Did you leave it?"

"Oh that! Yes. I thought you meant something about work!"

We were laughing. "Mmm, thanks!" I said, laughing at how she had teased me for getting what she described as a 'catering pack' of Aero last week. The student shops sells a massive bar for £1, so it would be rude not to. Obviously, Boss Lady couldn't turn down such a bargain either. It's all good, calories don't count when they're contained in a treat left by the Chocolate Fairy.
