It's official...my favorite co-worker really is leaving. I knew he was going but today it was official - I ordered the farewell Mike pizzas. Tomorrow I will pick up cups and pop. Tomorrow night I will bake a Texas Sheet Cake.
Friday is the big day. The sappy speech - which I imagine he has wrote and rewrote fourteen gazillion times. {Do you know that I love that gazillion is an actual word? Go to www.dictionary.com.}
I had better pick up a box of Kleenex tomorrow...just in case his speech is sentimental AND sappy.
Several of us are having a tough time even talking about him leaving...and I finally figured out why. Because this co-worker of mine is an all-around go-to sort of guy. He listens and will offer advice. He will even listen and just listen - so long as you preface your mini-crisis with, "I just need you to listen and not fix this."
I am happy for him and for his family...but I am oh-so sad that they are leaving.
