End of month (Friday Fictioneers)
I plonk the cup down and let out a whoop.
“Dammit!” Stacey groans. The rest of the admin team looks less than impressed. I jump to my feet crowing my victory.
The monthly competition over how many corrections our team makes requiring reprints or replacement pages was childish sure… but it gives us something to look forward to.
I run my fingers over the box’s edge licking my lips.
“All right, all right! Just take it already.” Stacey slumps back in her chair, defeated.
I cracked the seal. The aroma of chocolate fills my nose.
And I was NOT sharing.

Rambles, writing and amusing musings 
The things we do to make office work interesting. Nice one 🙂
Thank you! Ha i only wish it was true… mmmm chocolates
Sounds like a fun place to work!
Thank you! If only the prizes were so yummy!
Dear Laurie,
To the victor go the spoils. Well done. Maybe she’ll change her mind about sharing. 😉
Shalom,
Rochelle
Hahaha well yes, she probably will… eventually 😆
Let them get their own chocolate 🙂
Hahaha too right!! 😆
Oh, that smell of chocolate! If a one hundred word story can be a page-turner, that was a page-turner!
Hahaha brilliant. I wish you chocolate filled dreams too 😆
Nice story , Laurie.🙂
Ha ha ha. Love the office humor.
Thanks John. At first I was stumped with this one. 😆
You pulled it out nicely.
Thank you! 😁
Let’s hope she keeps a track of her waistline as she’s particularly not into sharing. And especially so if she is a serial winner. Good take on the prompt, Cheers.
Thank you!! The good thing about her job is all the running around between floors and to the printers!
Ha.. what can I say… anything to make something boring interesting, and chocolate is a great reward.
Yes exactly Bjorn!! A bit silly so why not!
Does she also always win the weekly coffee comp, if so I will be falling out with her.🙂
Haha no. This was her first win. 😆
It all helps to pass the time, I guess. And a box of chocs at the end of it… worth every minute.
I think so!! Aha!
Whatever makes the day-to-day dullery that is office work, fun!
Yes exactly Dale!
Mmmm, I can smell that chocolate. It would make me work hard, too.
Ha ha yes indeed!! 😆
Chocolate is a great motivator. Sounds like a fun office!
It sure is 😊
That was fun. I’m all for making boring work more interesting, and chocolate sounds just like the perfect thing. One of my coworkers has a sign on her desk that says:
Did you see the chocolate?
Briefly.
Bahahaha love it!! I had a sign once that said ‘unless you have chocolate as tribute, go away.’ Ha ha
