Celebrating birthdays is fun when it's not mine. My co-worker has turned 80. She's retiring at the end of the month and knowing that I won't have be able to run up to her classroom and listen to her stories is making me sad. I'm sad that I won't be able to share cake with her. I'm sad that I won't be able to enjoy her humor. I'll miss her snarky comments and the way she manages to throw shade at others without them realizing.
My retiree is not the only coworker i'm losing this year. One of my favorite co-worker/friend/department family member is moving all of a sudden. She has been a source of comfort and stability for the last 5 years. It will not be easy to find another work family/friend that is supportive and brilliant.
