Whining

Mike Connolly, who is a nice guy and shouldn't have to have his office in a waiting room, has an M&M dispenser on his desk. This morning I stopped by to help myself and noticed that it was empty. I ragged on him about false advertising, etc. He told me he'd received instructions from his wife to replenish the thing and he promised to do so by lunch. Then I harangued him about former employees who would ask for stuff, but couch it as a request from their wives. Which isn’t what he was doing, but I can go off on a tangent like no one in the world.
So, I'm sitting here minding my own business and Mike comes in to say that the M&M bank is replenished. I let him know that as long as he validates my whining, I'll continue to whine. He thought that line ought to be shared. So here it is.
