I have a clerk that does ALOT of work for me. I build a wall around her
and protect her from the evils of this place, as any organization has them
evils. She takes a nap after lunch and I do whatever I can to make sure
she doesn't have to miss it, even if it means that my lunch is cut short.
I always give her anything aromatherapuetic, most of which she keeps and
uses here in the office. Then I get the benefits. I call it 'calming stuffs.'
Oh, always I get the good stuff. All natural, except for the dishwashing
liquid. It was a treat to bring her some joy invigorating splash and other
and aromatherapuetic dish washing liquid because they don't sell it here.
I gave her a lavender and flaxseed eye pillow that is actually easy to make.
Bath and body works has this terrifc orange and ginger scent, in addition
to the lavender.
