The Little Things in Life

The "Chinese" Pose

Today was the last day working at the Starbucks across the street for the young lady in the photo. She's off to a new job as a manager at a new Starbucks store in town. I think I found out from her yesterday morning when her last day was going to be. I didn't think much of it and simply told her "Congratulations and good luck!".

It was after I had gone for lunch with a co-worker and we were back on our way to the office that I thought about getting a card for her and having the other regulars in our office who know her to sign it. So I did that. Then Tara said that she'd track down a little gift for our friend. I bought a couple of "scratch and win" lottery tickets (the contest name appropriately was "Coffee Break") and added them to the card.

Anyways, when I first visited the Starbucks shop this morning she was on a conference call. So I said I'd return. When I went back I hauled along a few of the people who had signed the card. I presented her with the card and Tara took the picture. Yes, she was quite surprised. She didn't have to but she bought a round of coffee for all of us. Later on she came by and told us that she did win some money with the scratch and win tickets...$2. ^_^

So there you go... The little things in life do matter...
