What is Friendship?
Just moved to new desk at the office ... had to rush through as at most times not in the office and someone requested to get this done this week ...
After spending about 2 hours, cleaning the drawers and desk ... carrying heavy binders and files from the mobile lockers to desk ... received this email from that someone at with timestamp of about 11:30am (and yes, the content is just like that):
1/ have you done moving into the new nest?
2/ have you decided which cabinet or drawer i can use? {i just need a small one}
3/ when can u give me a spare key? {i can "copy" one if u want, without bothering u & our dear sec}
As a friend, point #2 is really no problem at all ... even doing point #3 is not a problem (which by the way, already did that too) ... but then on the other hand, there was no offer to help whatsoever ... not even a "thanks" at the end ...
Maybe one can argue that as a friend, there should be give and take ... and shouldn't always expect "return" ... but then again, even the "very nicely dressed with equally nicely manicured nails" lady friend also helped carry a box downstairs, without the need to ask ...
Sigh!!
