Our office is a mess
It’s been a tough time around the office these past few weeks.
First, one of the partners leaves to head off to another firm and we have to change our name and everything else that entails, such as stationary, email, website, signs, etc. I have just started getting used to saying the new name while covering reception at lunch.
Second, one of my office roommates fell and hurt herself pretty bad, she’ll be 60 this year and has been home for the past 2 weeks nursing a broken collar bone. I actually miss her. She’s not expected to be back to work for at least another 2-3 weeks. So I stepped up and offered my help in picking up the slack.
Third, our sweet receptionist is having the toughest time of all. Her husband of 35 years has been battling cancer for the last year, they just put him in Hospice, it looks to be like the next few days are his final ones. Such a sweet couple, forever in love and not afraid to show it. It’s very sad, I’m tearing up now just typing this

I have to laugh at people who say leave your worries at the door when you come to work, how can you possibly leave such things at the door. Impossible. People endure a lot of things outside the walls of work.
