The M&M Man

Every once in a while you meet people that you wish you could see on a regular basis. Because of the circumstance your paths only cross for a few minutes but in that time they make a very distinct impression. 

One of my assignments today at work was to go make a delivery at the Ralph Lauren building. While getting checked through security, which is pretty extensive at most office buildings, I met a man on the six floor who directed me to where I need to drop off the materials. 

As we walked together we chatted about the giant bowl of M&M’s by his desk and our plans for Memorial Day weekend. He was very friendly and extremely to polite to me, the lowly intern. 

As I walked back to his desk to leave he insisted that I load up on M&M’s for the walk back to my building. I followed his orders and thanked him as I went on my way. 

After meeting this man I decided that I wanted to be more like him. He didn’t get caught up with the hustle and bustle and was just nice to everyone. 

I also decided that if there is ever another delivery heading to Ralph Lauren, I’m taking it, and not just because of the M&M’s.
