47. Who Do You
Think You’re Fooling?
After Gerry went to group, I walked back to the staff kitchen
to get coffee, passing the candy dish in the assessor’s office. I had cut back on sweets a week earlier. Typically the candy dish was full at the
start of the day, empty by the end. I’d always assumed everyone ate about the
same amount of candy. Someone had filled
the dish on Monday. It was Thursday and
the dish was still a third full.
At first I thought I had been eating more candy than I realized.
Then it hit me – someone must be filling
the dish part way just to mess with me. All
those empty candy wrappers that used to cover the bottom of my garbage can at
the end of the day? That same someone probably put them there. They weren’t fooling me.
Today I won’t underestimate my ability to fool
myself.
