My office has been doing a Secret Pal program the last week, where those who participate exchange small gifts, secretly, with someone else in the office. There will be a lunch tomorrow, where we'll find out who our Secret Pals are.

Yesterday, I came back to my desk and found a little gift box and opened it up. I found a nice pair of work out socks, the sort that wick away your perspiration, and I thought, huh, it's someone who has been hearing me talk all the time about working out. Suddenly I began to giggle.

"What is it?" asked Nola, the secretary at the next desk.

I held up the socks with a grin.

"Harry Potter . . . has given Dobby socks!" I said in a high squeaky voice, and I widened my eyes maniacally. "Dobby is FREE!!!"

Nola, who has also read the books, collapsed on the desk, laughing.

*giggles wildly*

(It's things like that that I'd have no way to explain if I were to say them at work.)

You're going to start a union now, aren't you?

Well, as long as I don't have to wear the tea towel . . .

Sure, go ahead! I'm flattered. And I'm glad to know about this community, which I've never encountered before. I'll definitely link to it.

(And if you don't mind the suggestion, and are looking for another entry to quote from my LiveJournal, I've always been very fond of this one.)

I am never again reading your journal while drinking water. It's too dangerous. ;)

You're lucky to get the situation that was perfect for that quote --- thanks for giving me a laugh today. :)

Ah, I wish it were that easy....
