the wheel rolls around
without breaking butterflies
luck my fate this time

If I did it fast, you know that's and act of kindness

*Plonk* (Coworker Joanne tosses her yogurt cup into the trash can.)
Me: Wash it out and recycle it.
J: silence, walks to sink and washes her spoon
Me: *quiet anger*
A good minute+ passes without J making any indication that she will do as I flatly ordered her to do.
Me:You just aren't going to do it, are you? (I walk over to the trash, get the cup out, and wash it.)
J: (bluster) I was. I wanted to wash my spoon first. (sounds like an excuse)
Me: OK. (I shake the cup dry and toss it in the recycling.)
J: silence
