...Candy! Well we are not going to give you too much information about her, we would hate for the office crank she told us about to catch on to her scheme, once you read her story you will know exactly what we are talking about.
The names have been changed to protect the innocent!
"Wow - "Cranky" describes my co-worker but we can never tell him that! Back at the beginning of the year, I was tasked to assist Bob with our annual inventory. It was a much dreaded assignment because Bob is known to be cranky and unbending. One morning he had obviously gotten up on the wrong side of the bed and I sarcastically mentioned he must need chocolate, referring to his PMS-attitude. To my embarrassment, he heard part of my comment but luckily did not put it into context. He responded that he likes chocolate. In my attempt to minimize my offense comment, I brought him a chocolate truffle shortly thereafter. He immediately turned from being an unpleasant miser to giddy and jovial. I relayed the remarkable attitude improvement to several other members of the team, and now everybody keeps a stash of chocolate for meetings with Bob."
