Never bring home a little robin's egg blue box from Tiffany's with the announcement, "look what I what else i got" when the contents of the box are not intended for your wife. I shall retell the tale of how I came into possession of the heart stopping blue box. Each year ING puts on a sales conference to honor the work we put into the company and distribute the awards for the past year. Sales conferences consists of a ton of beer, great food, and then attempt to survive the rather boring award presentations and this one was no different. The difference this year occured when i actually won an award. I am now the reigning MF Rookie of the Year. With the title came a little trophy and the a fore mentioned robin's egg blue box. As I reach my fill of beer and food, I quietly exited the party and took the train home to my waiting wife. I proudly showed off my little trophy and blurted out the previously mentioned line at which Anna's eyes light up. I clarified the meaning on my statement no sooner then the last word exited my mouth and the delight shown in her eyes. All I pictured was sleeping in the living room for those a blunder. However, she gracefully overlooked the misstep on account of being very tired and having my fair share of Yings. To those who read this blog, never bring home a robin's egg blue box not intended for your lady. I was one of the few who survived and now can enjoy my sterling silver cufflinks.
