So a co-worker got walked out the front door today. She had a hard time coming in to work on time, staying awake on the job, doing quality work, and developing a work ethic. Not a valued employee.
That said; when she started here and we got to talking, I was the person who suggested she see a p-doc and get some help for the depression she was feeling. I'm twice her age, and I did make some suggestions to her to improve her acceptance here at work - like showing up.
People get laid off all the time in the construction industry - jobs come and go. She was an administrative clerk, but her departure has brought me to tears. I can't even say we were friends, but here I am with mascara dribbling down my cheeks. (I tried water proof mascara and it makes me look like I only have 3 eyelashes.)
Why do I feel like a cry baby?
