sad

So my friend MH quit her job last month and spent all the month of March training her replacement JW. She worked at my place of work and she was like a breath of fresh air. You could always count on MH for a good laugh and zany adventures. She quit her job so she could go work on a boat as a chef on a Rideau cruise thing. She used to do it before her current job and she loved it so much that when they offered her a job back with them she took it up immediately. It is wonderful that she is taking the risk and doing something she loves but I will miss her terribly.

I made her trifle on Tuesday and made enough to feed almost all the office. this other girl in the office thought I made it just so SHE could try it... mind you that girl thinks she is the center of the freaking universe and lives off creating conflict and a hundred other things about her are going on that I don't care to pontify here. (Is there such a word as pontify? I'm thinking of something else but pontify came out. Pontify. Pontify. Pontify.)

Anyway yes. Trifle good. And yesterday was her last day so I got her a nice journal & cool little pen and a little bag of wishing stones and a nice card. She liked it very much and hooray! It was very hard to say good-bye to her at the end of the day. And she was a little emotional which made it harder. I managed not to really cry until she walked right out the door and it dawned on me that on Monday morning I would not hear her cheerful "Good morning!". So I had a little cry in the bathroom at work and then I was ok. I am an emotional sap, yes. Shut up.
