Joe brought me a straw

So, I was sitting here, feeling quite crappy after waking up with a wicked sore throat, getting a late start on work, and spending a few hours in a primarily Russian-speaking doctor’s office. I had my antibiotics, my tissues, three types of lozenges, two types of nasal spray (anyone turned on yet?) but I didn’t have a freaking straw. And for whatever reason, I really really wanted to drink all my various health-boosting liquids with a straw. 

So, since I tweet everything I think, I tweeted that I really wanted a straw. And you guys, JOE BROUGHT ME ONE. He came up two flights of stairs, busted into the office like some glorious freaking hero, pointed at me in a way that said, “Hey girl, I got what you need,” and then delivered the most glorious straw I’ve ever seen. (Individually wrapped and not even pre-used.) And then just like Batman, he vanished into the night 2:48ish daylight without a word. 

Joe, thank you very very very much. I know it’s overkill to write a blog post about it, but it’s small gestures like this that are just…the most awesome.

If you’d like to meet the persons involved and see where this whole amazing thing went down, stop by on Saturday for the NYC Tech Blood Drive: http://teamhomefield.com/blooddrive
