This older eastern european woman has been calling me a lot, I interviewed her awhile ago, but have not been able to place her due to her skill-set not being up to par with the jobs i have to fill. So today, she came into the office, to see if I had any openings.

She pulled me aside, away from my desk and co-workers and said in a thick accent:

"What is your name again?"

"Missy."

"oh, Yes Missy. Missy. Come here. Put out your hand. I brought you a Holiday Gift"

So i did, and she palmed a tiny black velvet bag into my hand. The bag said "Swarvoski" on it. I didn't open it right away, but she looked at me very excitedly and said 'Open it"

Reluctantly, I peeked inside. It was incredibly awkward, and I said "it is beautiful" She then said "Take it out!" and i pulled it out to discover a heart shaped crystal necklace on a gold chain. Definitely not something I'd ever wear.

I said "I can't accept this. Thank you. It is beautiful, but I can't..."

She insisted "No! It is for you, and pusehd it back at me. I hope that you can find me job. I want to work very much."

I just about cried. When she left, I turned to my coworkers stunned & confused and said "I think I was just bribed."

My coworker Joyce, of Eastern European descent, confirmed, and said that in some cultures, that's just how you get ahead.

very weird, but endearing.

if she handed you in a bag, a custom hand painted Blythe autographed that would be another issue.

All I got was a rock.

I get give sputum samples

Next time insist on cash only.

This is how the world works, but only in politics its usually a pool house

i would only accept bribes in the form of sexual favors

Damn you rhino, your filthy mind is faster than my typing.

Now she can steal your soul.

Nah! . . . . Weird woulda been a likeness of her dead grandmother made entirely from human hair, presented in Pirates of the Caribbean lunchbox!

Given or thrown?

Now you HAVE to hire her, lol.

Stalkers are frightening.

half the schools, doctors, etc I ever got into was gotten that way

you better get her a job quick or the naxt bag=POLONIUM

I was in London during that whole thing going on. Watching the pics of the guy dying, and then reading about hot spots in central London. From what I understand it is fatal onluy when ingested, but I can't imagine that proximity is much good either.
