Yesterday I saved a life.
But today, today, people, I saved someone's breath.
This new temp on the block asked me where all the Jolly Ranchers went because a few weeks ago we had a Sam's Club-sized box in the office, but that box is long gone. Lucky for her, I am a hoarder and before it was gone grabbed a big handful of them and put them in my desk drawer.
Luckier still for this lady that I don't like Jolly Ranchers.
Though I gave most of them away, I did spy a lone red fellow, possibly Cherry, hiding in a little compartment designed for paperclips, and then did I connect this Jolly Rancher to it's soon-to-be Jolly Eater, who just had herself some tuna casserole and was desperately not wanting not to taste that anymore.
I make things happen around here. One Jolly Rancher at a time.

I am fairly sure that Elton John's song "Someone saved my life today" is about Jolly Ranchers.
