A few months ago, my workmate of 12 yrs moved on to another job (much more money) and I am missing him so much. We had alot of similar interests and we could talk about anything (looks wise, he is an old hippie with long white hair and a beard). When I had to take 3months off to recover from an operation, his wife told me how much he missed me. He is an atheist, a birder, a potter etc.
Sorry to hear about his leaving, he sounds like a very interesting guy! Isn't it good to know whne you're missed at work?
Now I'm left working with a creationist and a conspirisy theroist. And my boss who is here part time replaced him with a female part time bartender. Now I am the old experienced one minus the long, white hair.
Oh no.....I can imagine any conversation being a minefield with this combo.
Gyro: Did you hear the news about Beyoncé?
Conspirisy Theorist: She's in the Illuminati!
Creationist: We must pray for her!
Now when I come to work I have no one to talk to about something I heard on the radio or some animal I saw or some strange political stuff or strange religion. It's not so much fun to come to work right now.
Well, I hope things change soon! Works a better place when it's fun!
