I had a nice moment today to share. It's been difficult running into people at one of the work sites I support because of continued reduced staffing due to the pandemic. But today I finally ran into a man I've worked with for seven years. He's a giant, quiet, kind veteran who keeps his desk clear of almost everything but a few pictures of his granddaughter with special needs that he dotes on.
I'm late delivering pens, which I typically give out around Christmas. I decide on a design and make about a dozen for co-workers. When I handed him this delinquent "2021" pen he smiled and opened a box containing the other 6 pens I've given him over the years. Wow! It was like a time capsule to see all the old designs I was keen on at the time and then "got over."
I didn't know how much he appreciated the pens until I noticed this box was about the only thing on his clear desk aside from his family pictures. Wow.
Thanks for letting me share,
- Cullen
