A box of chocolates

An anecdote that made my week last week: I received a present from a client last week, two boxes of Swiss chocolates. Not one, two. Nicely wrapped too, a lot of effort was put into it. You can find a picture of the chocolates on the left. They are delicious and utterly decadent. Strange that a country that has the reputation to be so strict (it was the bed of Calvinism after all) are famous for something so sweet and that pushes people so much into gluttony.It sure gets me in a gluttonous mood.

I was quite touched by it. Last time I got chocolates from work, it was some because I was leaving. And it didn't taste nearly as nice as those! It was just a friendly, gratuitious, warm gesture for something I would have done anyway. It makes me appreciate my job a bit more.
