My Day Was Changed By a Gift Basket

Last week I had a horrible day. I was fired from my job, and I was ready to scream. As I packed up my office, I just wanted to throw all my office supplies and computer out the window, and hoped they would fall on my boss. I decided to go for a drive to lift my spirits, but it didn't help.

With my office supplies in the backseat, I drove home. Waiting for me was a gift basket, saying "I love you." It was from my boyfriend. Inside was a wonderful assortment of coffee, tea, chocolate, wine, and some other goodies. I poured myself a glass of wine and devoured the chocolate.

Needless to say, it made me feel much better, and I decided to get over my misery and start looking for a job.
