The medicine go down
The medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way”
Anybody that knows me know I love the movie “Mary Poppins” and how this magical nanny takes on the role of putting a smile on children’s faces. This lady came off as being sweet and kind as Mary Poppins but she was not.
Let’s get to scenario of the whole scene. I am sitting at the desk and the phone is ringing. I answered the phone and asked “How can I help you”. Mary starts talking ” I just started working here and my desk has not been setup.” Next she starts poppin’ off on the phone with me and I have been nothing but nice to her. “I can not see and need my big monitor”. I have $600 glasses that support my eye sight and my vision”. Plus she starts cursing me out. 30 minutes later she comes up to desk and I greeted her and the lady was a totally different person when she rolled up. She starts talking about “How much her glasses cost again”. I said “I totally understand and my glasses cost about the same as well. We are waiting on an order of monitors to come in”.
Two weeks have rolled by and we finally get monitors that afternoon. I loaded a monitor up on the cart to go put it on Mary Poppin’s desk. Yes she is not there today and I do not have to deal with her mouth and hearing about these “$600 glasses”. She comes back to the office on Monday and wants to apologize to me and buy me some food.
All the people on my team asked me what I did to her and I said “killed her with kindness. Plus she know not to roll up on me like that after she came to desk to see me. Trust me she does not want to get that smoke. ”
“She’s, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”
