The office manager of a company we do business with stopped by the office today to say, "hi," and he brought me a box of Godiva chocolates. Normally, I would just put this kind of thing in the kitchen for anyone in the office to help themselves to, or, if I'm feeling greedy, I would put them in my desk and save them for later.
Today, I felt a bit of a sugar craving so, about an hour after the guy left, I opened the box. It was pretty clear right away something was wrong. I had a tough time peeling the first layer of foil off the chocolates. When I got it off, I wished I hadn't opened the box at all. Everyone of the chocolates was bad. Not just bad, but most of them were broken and stuck to one side of the box with their fillings smushed all over the place. Of course, I had to check the second layer. More of the same.
You never know what you're gonna get.
I really hope my life is not like that box of chocolates.
Boo.
You know, even all smushed, it's still Godiva chocolate. That's worth braving the mess, if you ask me.
Posted by: zombyboy at 01:21 PMUh.. I don't think I emphasized the word bad enough. Bad like chocolates that you've had in the cupboard since Christmas of '99. Wait, more like chocolates that you had in your car since Christmas of '99, that have melted and frozen several times.
Photographic evidence will follow when I get home this evening.
