I spied a small packet of yellow sticky notes on her desk and went to work. I wrote about a dozen short messages and quickly hid them all throughout her cubicle. On one, I wrote "I love you" and I stuck it in her rolodex under the letter L.
I hid one under her water bottle, inside the phone cradle, in her candy dish and several more in out of the way locations. I even hid a note in the paper station of her printer so when it was time to replace the paper she would find it there. On her message pad I went down a few pages and wrote a message To: Athena, From: Your Best Friend, Message: Missing you - come home soon.
Several days each week she would let me know she had discovered one of her notes. She found most of them before she quit her job. I think there were still a couple for her replacement to find. Hope they make her day.
