So at work I came across some strange acting from two of my work mates. At first it seemed like they avoided me and they even went to the pause room and locked the door. This left me wondering if they really were plotting something or if it just were one of those act a bit differently days.
But, to my surprise, they really were plotting something. During the coffee pause, they sneakily showed something to my boss, sitting a couple of tables away from me, and then walked towards me in an ominous manner. What now, I thought to myself.
One of them was holding a book, which I was then given along with a small box of sweets. Then they said to me: "this is a farewell gift for you." I was speechless. I tried to mumble a thank-you but then they roared off as quick as they could. What makes the book even more special is that it is in Swedish and they know I know that language and will go on studying it.
A farewell gift for they will be leaving this work place I am in and I'll stay here for a bit longer. But it was a very polite thing to do and surely had a positive impact on me! I'm really thankful.
