Kindness really does pay...

Posted by with 7 comments | in
The week before last I briefly mentioned that Jordan and I would be house sitting for a co-worker of mine from the 10th to the 17th.  We agreed to for a couple of different reasons, but mostly - it's nice to be nice.  

When I got to my desk this morning I saw a little blue envelope with my name written on it and inside was a delightful little thank you card and a $50 gift certificate for The Keg.

What a wonderful surprise it was (and I made sure to tell him) - Jordan and I really looking forward to using that card.  Maybe next weekend when all of my roommates are planning on moving out on the same day (have fun guys).

    How cool! We have friends who actually want to house sit for us, they live in little apartments with roomates and the chance to have a house to themselves is a treat.

    That was nice of them! I did some cat sitting over the summer and got a nice bottle of red wine for my trouble.
