'Not Fade Away'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oh god, Suzi. I'm so sorry.
Strix, this:
I can't control her feelings; I can only work on how I react to things.
is such a hard thing to learn, but it's absolutely right. I'm sorry she flipped out. Like Jesse said earlier, it sounds like she's got issues of her own.
This is the second co-worker in our group to die in the last year. The first woman died in early February after a brief fight with cancer. It was a shock, but we at least had an inkling of a warning. The woman who died last night was the group admin assistant when I started in CO and has since moved up into a more technical position. Both were well know, well liked, full of heart, made you smile when you talked with them and left (will leave) gapping holes in the office.
Suzi, I'm so sorry. That's so awful, and shocking, and sad.
Strix, it definitely sounds like your friend is dealing (or not dealing) with her own issues, especially since she has a history of this kind of shit. I'm sorry she's acting so callously toward you. Good on you for recognizing what you can and can't control in this situation.
And on a happier note, Burrell, I am SO happy that your sister is doing better today! I've been thinking of you all week, and I will continue wishing her as much recovery as is possible.

OMG, so much this. I love the image of her chomping on a bagel and planning for the future.
Oh my god, Suzi, how sad and awful. I'm sorry.
Suzi, how shocking and awful!
I decided on a "sick" day. I've attended two meetings, set up one, have another to go, and am awaiting a phone call from the CIO (I wanted her attention, I sure got some, but this wasn't how...).
Now I'm lying back down. After a nectarine.

Oh yes, most definitely this.
Now I'm lying back down. After a nectarine.
Nectarines are key in most things I do. For they are delicious and pretty.
I have no nectarines. I do have pears, but it's not the same.
I'm sorry about your coworker, Suzi.
