"On the Lighter Side" will include incidents of office humor and encouragement, with the hope of bringing a smile to your day.
Someone around here has a new toy. He obviously loves showing it off, although he feigns humility. He’s the first on staff to acquire . . . a Kindle!
He exudes enthusiasm. There are already 60 books on it! he exclaims – because he’s on a shared plan where any one person in the group can buy a book, then everyone can read it.
He beams as he demonstrates how he can underline noteworthy phrases. He commands the font to change size, and voilà! That little creature obeys him!
Who is wallowing in giddiness?
He’s the one who can never allow Jacob to best him at free throws into the wastebasket.
He’s the one who usually has salad for lunch, but when he buys a sandwich and fries, says, don’t tell Jenny.
He’s the one who just last Sunday reminded us to go out and be beautiful.
His initials are HCP.
As he walked by, he informed me that he’d be busy reading his Kindle. And as he disappeared into his office, I believe I actually heard a giggle.
