So I’m heading for the elevators to get some lunch. Near the door to the elevators is a donation jar set up to collect pennies for a couple of little girls to figure skate. At least, I assume that’s what the jar’s for – I usually pass it on the way to food or Coke, so I’m pretty single-minded when I’m in that area. I know there are pictures of little figure skaters around the jar.
So anyways, I’m walking towards said collection jar and there’s a geek of the large, awkward persuasion walking towards it from the other direction. He arrives at the jar just ahead of me, dumps a few pennies in it, then stares at the pictures expectantly, like he’s waiting for a thank you. Kind of a maniacal sort of expectant gaze. Weird.
