Pennies from Heaven

My coworker Dave has this unique habit of tossing pennies. Sometimes he’ll just be walking past your desk and *plop* there’s a penny there in his wake. When he announced his intention to quit, R and I began to wonder what special gesture we could make to tell him we’d miss him.

Today he started his day beaned in the head by a penny thrown by one of my coworkers—oops! After spending the day receiving pennies from all of us, he returned from his exit interview to find “Good luck. We’ll miss you!” written in pennies on his desk.
