Generosity
I don't know why, but whenever I'm generous bad things seem to happen, either to myself or to the person receiving my aid.
It happened again today; after my job interview (which went quite well, but no decision yet) I decided to pick up a fish sandwich. I was feeling happier than usual and the sandwiches were quite cheap, so I bought 2 in an attempt to reward myself.
Outside I noticed a homeless person, and after taking a minute to reconsider my initial decision to just walk past and eat everything on the train, I walked back and gave her one of the sandwiches, which she seemed to be quite greatful for.
Moments after I left, I heard a man shouting about a sandwich - when I turned to look back, what appeared to be an angry homeless man was running towards her.
Like the coward I am, I turned back to face where I was going and left them to it.
If I hadn't done anything, I'd have the guilt of not sharing when I had more than enough to spare.
Now I have the guilt of making someone angry with someone else and possibly causing a fight. I hope she's OK.

I wish you well with the job decision- what sort of job is it?
you did a good thing giving up your sandwich. their needs to be more people like you in the world (genirosity is so hard to find)
one question
fish?. in a sandwich?
really?
-
Yep Steph it could be tuna, salmon, sardine, mackerel or even fish fingers :)
You did a good thing there Tony giving a sandwich to that woman, you can't be held responsible for others action and as for not intervening in the dispute over the sandwich it was probably a wise decision, best not to put yourself in danger.

You did a kind thing. It isn't your fault if someone else reacted negatively.

It was a fish finger, lettuce and tare tare sauce sandwich. Not sure if I spelled tare tare correctly, but it doesn't flag up a spelling mistake so it might be right.
The job was for a web programmer with a leaflet / cardboard display printing company. I seemed to do quite well, and they were interested in some skills I have which weren't on the original job spec. So I think I have a decent chance.

well mike..... I guess if it works for some people!
I can't imagine eating a fish sandwich- the thought almost freaks me out.

Here we put anything and everything into sandwiches. A favourite here is a crisp sandwich. The most popular brand of crisp here is Tayto, so a Tayto sandwich is a norm for a lot of people. Otherwise, fish fingers would be another norm, a burger with curry sauce over the meat part is another strange one I saw.

Chip butty, with butter. Nothing like it :)

Mmmmm....chip butty. Fancy a fish finger and ketchup sarnie now too. Or ready salted crisps and salad cream.
