Today is my birthday and instead of receiving gifts I will be gifting a stranger or two.
I follow Melissa's Operation Nice blog and the current assignment she has is "Gift a Stranger". So, I thought why not spread a little happiness around!

You Say...
When I started working in the Corporate World at the age of 21, I was told I was shy, quiet and nice. As the years went by and I got very familiar with my industry I was told I had a very strong personality and I spoke my mind. That's the politically correct way to say it BUT in reality I can be a BITCH! I don't think that there's anything wrong with it...do you?
