Once upon a time I had the chance to work with a very kind and generous person named Erin. She was so generous, in fact, that she once donated an entire set of flatware to the kitchen in our office.
Life had provided her with two sets of flatware - either through an upgrade or a gift, I forget which - and, rather than hoarding both sets for herself, she chose to share with us.
Such was the generous nature of my friend Erin.
Recently, I opened the drawer in said kitchen and was semi-shocked to find this ...
kitchen drawer, sans flatware
Yes, my colleagues have pilfered ALL the flatware.
Some of it was probably taken home.
Some wound up in the trash, I'm sure.
I can only imagine what became of the rest.
I ate my applesauce with a plastic knife that day.

Aw, I made it to your blog! Sad about the flatware, but I'm mostly laughing. :) It has been three years!
