the day is over and i feel a little bit like i got hit by a truck. kari left and that is sad. joe’s leaving on thrusday and that is sad too. i feel a bit like i’m being taken advantage of in softwareland and that is sad. i am surrounded by coworkers who are angry and unsure of what’s going on and that is sad. there is so much sadness, i can’t keep up with it all.

but then last night at happy hour the entire table said they could tell the minute i got their in the morning because my laugh rang through the office.

and today sonja told me that since she’s moved over into my pod she actually doesn’t mind coming to work.

so there are little bits of joy most everywhere i suppose, if you want to see them and all.
