A Dozen Red Roses

I got a phone call this morning from the Receiving Department saying that there was a 'personal' package waiting for me to pick up.  The entire time I was walking to the back of the plant I was thinking to myself, "What could I have possibly ordered that would have been labeled as a 'personal' package?"  When I finally found FBB30 (post location for Receiving), I walked in hesitantly afraid that I was entering the wrong department.  The woman that had called me recognized me and hurriedly walked to a long rectangular package.  The boxed was labeled 1-800-flowers.com!  I had to keep myself from getting giddy with excitement.  :)  I opened the box right there with the two ladies in the department hovering over me to get a look at what was in the box.  It was a dozen long-stemmed red roses neatly packaged with purple tissue and plastic wrapping with the ends placed in a clear glass vase.  I just about cried right there!  I read the message enclosed in the box.  Of course it was from Andrew!!  I was so shocked that he had actually sent me flowers.  I've never gotten flowers delivered to me at work before.  I didn't even know that they could be sent to Honeywell.  The two women told me congratulations.  I asked them if flowers were ever sent to the plant before.  The woman who had called me originally said that, yes, they do occasionally get flowers delivered but it usually happens on Valentine's Day.  I walked back to my desk with the rectangular box in my arms.  I carefully unpackaged the flowers and placed them on my desk.  Now they're there to make me smile!
