Dishing About Kindness

I washed a sink full of dirty dishes at work today. I'm not sure to whom they belonged, but none were mine. I NEVER leave dirty dishes in the sink at the office. It's not that I am extraordinarily neat person who is above letting dirty dishes hang out in the sink for a while; I leave plenty in my kitchen at home. But at work, I am terrified of leaving even a fork, for fear of getting caught. I just won't risk it. It's a delicate balance between the folks who like to let their dishes soak and those who like a clean sink. There are merits to both sides. But for today, an act of kindness brings peace to the kitchen. Just don't tell my husband, he'll expect the same from me at home.
