I am trying very hard to be nice. It doesn't always come naturally. It is an effort. I am easily annoyed by people and have a hard time focusing when someone is blathering on about something. My New Year's resolution was to be kinder. So this is what I get:
1. No parking tickets. I made friends with the meter maid. It only costs me a some conversation. I have a hard time focusing on what she is saying because the gold flecks from her teeth end up all over her lips. She's very shiny.
2. Lunches with boring people. There are two that always stop by to see if I want to go to lunch. I usually say yes. It's hard to say no and then sneak out to lunch five minutes after they leave.
3. The office troll talking to me while I am trying to use the bathroom. She stood in the bathroom waiting for me, talking to me the whole time about how there should be hooks in the bathroom and maybe a shelf. As I rounded the corner I did get to peak her marshmellowy troll belly as she tried to tame her troll hair. I now have to sneak to lunch and the bathroom.
4. Clean waste basket. I am really nice to the cleaning lady so she doesn't steal from me and makes sure I always have a clean trash can. Important stuff.
5. No time for work. I am too busy having conversations with the troll, the meter maid, the cleaning lady and the administrative assistants to be able to get any work done.
So the moral of story is that with being nice comes some hardships but also a clean trash can and unlimited parking.
