A Class Act

"Thanks, Chelsea. I appreciate everything you do for me and you are a real pleasure to work with and have around. Sometimes it is OK to cry."

That's my boss comforting me after she learned her services will no longer be needed after June 31st. She remained composed as I sat in front of her and cried. *CRIED* And before she left work at 7:00PM on a Friday, she popped her head in to say, "You're going to be OK," hinting that I will still have a job come affiliation time.

And that is reason number 758 bazillion why I love my boss. And since my boss says it's OK to cry, I think I'll put on a movie, crawl into bed and do so.

Chelsea,

Are those not the people who make life so immensely pleasant to live? Indeed, they are the ones who make us recall all of our blessings that we might take for granted otherwise. It is a rare trait to find in humans today, but the nobility of that portion of society serves as an inspiration to the rest of us who have yet to attain it. I hope that I may learn to possess such composure in the face of adversity as I encounter impediments to the regular, comfortable flow of life, and you possess my gratitude for sharing such a tale to our knowledge. If I may echo your former boss's sentiment, you are an excellent pleasure in acquaintance with anyone, and I speak from personal experience.

She's not former yet. I've still got four months with her.

Not to add insult to injury, but you have 1 less day with her-June has 30 days.
