Have You Done a Good Deed Today?

Drove my co-worker to the train station. He's a good guy and it helps him take the public transportation. So he can get into work with a bad hangover.

Accepted my "satisfactory" yearly rating and sub-inflation raise without making a big fuss. Nobody likes a fuss over something like that, especially if they consider you "satisfactory", i.e., 2 stars out of 4, not quite enough to make "good", the sort of employee we tolerate, a warm body type.

I went to a convenience store this morning to buy a cup of coffee on the way to work. Some guy was making his coffee next to me, then went to the counter to pay, leaving his wallet on the counter next to me. I know how much trouble it would be to cancel everything, etc, so I went to the checkout counter and asked the guy if it was his wallet back on the counter. To this he replied grumpily, "Yeah, I was going back there to get it!". No "Thank You", nothing. My good deed for today. I guess I should apologize for people like that!
