If those names aren't familiar then you need to watch Sanford and Sons. Ester is Fred's sister in law and they go at every time they cross paths. That is how a friend at work describes
our relationship like Fred and Ester. He makes comments that would make the average girl cry or want to beat his ass. My response is just as corrosive. We go back and forth laugh and keep it moving.
The other day wast not so typical. I was in a truly foul mood and the guys around could tell but Fred was oblivious he made his comment and if looks could kill the guys said I would have pulled his intestines out threw his mouth. So guessing from that and the ohhh shit I heard as I turned my back it was pretty bad. Fred came to see if I was ok and realized then how far from ok I was.
A few minutes later Fred who could be described as a brutish ogre did the one thing I least expected, he came to my desk and laid a hand made card on my keyboard. Below is the outside on the inside it said smile it always makes me feel better. When I looked down I saw the card and felt the weight of anger and frustration just fall away and warmth take it's place.
That one small unexpected gesture meant a lot. I told him thank you and smiled. And just in case he ever finds this don't get a big head one kind gesture does not change a ogre to a prince.
Yeah Yeah the picks up top
