theoretically

Admittedly things have been a bit inconsistent around here. However I think things are looking up and I should be returning to life as usual very soon. Theoretically, I’ve been here this whole time. In my mind, making notes and observations about things I want to put here.

The story is that my coworker left to move across the country to be closer to her family. She and I had a close working relationship and a special friendship. Frankly, I am extremely sad about it…Happy for her, but still sad.

The last couple weeks have been filed with training her replacement. Overall the process had gone incredibly smooth and I’m really pleased with things. The only negative is the glaring absence of my friend. I think I speak for both of us when I say I wasn’t aware how close we were until I wasn’t able to talk with her every day.

Certainly not the end of the world but it’s been a strain. So many underappreciated people in my life have literally moved far, far away in the last couple years and it’s starting to take its toll. I’ve never had trouble making friends and several of these recent friendships have found their way to me so I know those voids will fill in time. Think of me while I’m busy welcoming a new coworker and coming to terms with void of my friend.
