(Best way I can describe her greeting) I could have put the name back and drawn another, but I decided to keep it and do something really nice for her....I made her a quilt. Wish I could say she became my best friend, or was even a nicer person, but she never even thanked me for it or so much as mentioned it. Don't expect this gesture to change anyone (although it could), but it will make you feel better about yourself. For all I know, this woman took it home and burned it!
Don't kid your self she took it home and regifted it...I am in the same boat at my job, no one ever talks to me and to be completely honest I have no idea, I have been here 6 months and they will say good morning to everyone but totally skips over me, I just keep telling myself they are missing out on meeting a good person...but at times it does make me sad...
