Sometimes the best thing I can do...
...is give people chocolate.
Wednesday was a very frustrating day. I didn't feel like I was making much progress on my own work, I didn't feel like I contributed much in the meetings and I was just pretty much mentally exhusted.
Christina popped into my cube. She was off to a meeting with a person she likes but finds very draining.
I gave her a Dark Chocolate Hershey Kiss. She went off to do her chore with a giggle and smile on her face, at least.
Morale of the story: sometimes when you're feeling your worst, its a small, simple act of compasion and kindness that makes it worth going on. When you surround yourself with people like that, you can help but reflect it back to them.
