In an effort to appear somewhat sociable as the new hire, sometime early last year I decided I would be my team’s “Candy Dish Lady”.
Being of somewhat modest means, one of my “Chilly Willy” character-decorated cereal bowls served the purpose nicely, as does whatever candy is on sale. (Usually Hershey’s Kisses)
This humble offering of confectioneries has brought the higher-ups of our department stopping by occasionally, thus my excuse of the candy dish as a “networking device” is well established if needed. Being good, I rarely partake of the sweets myself, and have been more than repaid by the antics that have occurred around this spontaneous gathering point.
