HAPPY FRIDAY & HAPPY READING WEEKEND!! HOLY MOLY I WENT FROM LAST WEEK’S spring has sprung and all sorts of happiness and anticipation, to a big change (my work-wife left for her new career-adventure!!) which has me all sorts of discombobulated. What a surprise it was (even for her!!LOL!!). I’m happy for her, and lucky for me, she didn’t move away, just… changed location/position altogether, but seeing & closely working with someone day-in and day-out for over 2 years sure builds a bond, and a rapport and a whole “office feel” that I will miss dearly. I will especially miss our daily belly laughs (there were so many of them), and hope that I can build that kind of rapport with whomever takes her place. *fingers crossed*
