I've done plenty of bitching here about all the times I've gotten screwed out of lunch at work because I'm a vegetarian. Well, today the opposite happened, and I thought I should take a moment to appreciate it.
They brought lunch in to my office for some reason or other, and the AE for my group made sure that there was a vegetarian option for me. And then, because I was in a meeting when lunch was delivered, she took one of the vegetarian sandwiches and stuck it in my office, so I would be sure to get something to eat. It was a really nice thing to do, and it made my day that much better.
Speaking of my job, it is connected to the stock markets, so I pay quite a bit of attention to what they are doing. I've been doing it for so long now that it is completely second nature, but it occurred to me that most people probably aren't hanging on the market's every move like I do. Do you? Were you aware that at one point today the Dow was down 292, but recovered to finish only slightly down? Do you even care? I've lost the ability to tell what is a normal interest level.
Score one for the vegetarians!!
it used to frustrate the hell out of me when the full blown carnivores would snatch up the one or 2 veggie options "to try somethign different" and then suggest I have the tuna - um I'm allergic you idiots!!
that was nice of your boss
oh, and my job is directly market related too so OF COURSE that is a normal level of interest (and our phones are very, very quiet)
Actually, this act of kindness may mean she's not a very good AE. But a very good person.
