Yesterday was my coworker Dan’s last day at our job. He was a short-timer, hired in November, quit in August. Bah.
I will be so bored at work now without him. Although our cubicles were only 10′ apart, we used our company’s IM product to (a) talk about coworkers, (b) comment on political news as it arose and (c) talk about coworkers.
He was like the brother … well, okay, I have a brother, but he lives 5 hours away. When I was mopey after a break-up, Dan tried to entertain me by randomly spouting off Chuck Norris “facts.” He had an insatiable need to stretch whenever he came to my cube. He also liked to rub his beard against my cube wall. Kinda weird, but I got used to it. His car spouts a refreshing cool mist when the a/c is on. And he is one of the few people who regularly uses words that I don’t understand.
Sigh. Can you believe someone would leave corporate America for a job with a public library system? Bah. And that someone could actually earn more money doing so? Bah.
Good luck. And remember, there is no fear. There is only Chuck Norris.

How kind.
For the record, the stretching was endearing and I think you should point out that in no way is rubbing one’s beard against the authors “cube wall†a euphemism. I’m getting married you know! Thanks for the kind words.
