I was out of work all of last week, and last Monday the whole office participated in a fun Thanksgiving activity. Every person here wrote down next to every other co-worker’s name a “nice” thing to say about them. The organizer then compiled a separate sheet for each of the participants, that listed all the positive qualities below their name.
I returned to the office this week, and found a paper on my desk saying the following: (explanations/my response in parenthesis)
Adam:
We are GRATEFUL for you because….
-You are so diligent about doing your work (usually I guess)
-You are chill (for the most part)
-You help us out when we need computer aid (only when it involves searching for porn/baseball stats)
-You are patient and fun (agreed)
-You have a positive attitude (I think so)
-You provide the AcipHex (inside-ish joke about how the medication sounds like “ass effects”)
-You always have great one liners (eh, I’m hit and miss)
-You are a good writer and have a funny personality (I’d like to think so)
-You are the glue that holds us together (people have told me this before, but didn’t know it was also the case at work)
-You are a great person to joke around with (clearly, because I never take anything seriously, ever)
-You don’t give Robert crap when the Mets beat the Phillies (true, but the Mets don’t often beat anyone these days)
-You slap Lisa’s table every time you walk by her desk (It makes a fun sound, yes)
-I not only find you tolerable for 3-4 days a week, but you’re a great friend to have inside and outside of work, too. (I’m a great friend no matter where I am!)
-You are a quiet, amiable, sweet person who always puts in 110% (I assume this was written by someone who doesn’t know me well)
-You have a consistent temperament (It’s from all the drugs)
